We all love Python for its simplicity and amazing ecosystem. But let's be honest: how many times have you typed pip install crossing your fingers, hoping it's not one of those malicious packages you read about in the news? The pip install command is a direct gateway to your system. A simple typo (typosquatting like requests instead of requests) or a compromised legitimate package can introduce malware, steal your environment variables, or leak your SSH keys. This is the heart of a software supply chain attack, and it's a growing problem. As a developer, this worried me. Why is the installation process a security blind spot? That's why I created pipq: a security proxy for pip that analyzes Python packages before they reach your system. pipq? pipq acts as an intelligent secur…  ( 9 min )

Instant4D: Turning Everyday Videos into 3‑D Worlds in Minutes Ever wondered how a simple phone clip could become a walk‑through of a whole scene? Instant4D makes that magic happen – it takes ordinary, shaky video and builds a 4‑D model of the space in just a few minutes. Scientists found a clever shortcut: they first map the scene with a fast visual SLAM technique, then trim away unnecessary data, shrinking the model to less than a tenth of its original size. This breakthrough means creators, educators, and anyone with a smartphone can bring real places to life without waiting hours for processing.

The initial spark for Arche was simple: I was wondering if there was anything that even AI couldn't answer. Sure, there are the usual quips: “It can’t tell you what you had for lunch.” Fair. But what about the truly deep questions that have kept us up at night, because of how unsettling they are? So I asked AI itself, the biggest question: What was the beginning of life? How did consciousness arise? —and I realized even the most advanced systems can't definitively answer. This isn't a flaw, but a limitation. From Cavemen to Coder: The Leap of Consciousness We marvel at evolution, but the leap from early hominids to conscious humans who can clone themselves and build digital worlds is the ultimate enigma. The moment a mind became aware of itself. Consciousness is the most uniquely evolv…  ( 7 min )

Most websites are visited by far more than just human users. An invisible crowd of crawlers, spiders, and bots constantly travels through web pages, collecting data for search engines, SEO platforms, social media sites, and now generative AI systems. Understanding who these bots are and how they behave helps developers maintain visibility, monitor performance, and guard their resources. A crawler is a program that automatically visits pages, follows links, and collects data. It can serve different goals: indexing websites for search results, analyzing site performance, training AI models, or checking compliance. Each crawler identifies itself in your server logs with a distinctive user agent name. Googlebot Used by Google Search to index pages across the web. Google runs multiple version…  ( 8 min )

TL;DR The CoreDNS dnssec plugin guidance to prefer ECDSA is there for a reason. In this post we see that with the same NXDOMAIN-signing workload, RSA (RSASHA256/3072) used 30x the amount of CPU compute compared to ECDSA (P‑256). When you enable DNSSEC in CoreDNS, negative answers must be provably negative. CoreDNS implements authenticated denial with NSEC "black lies". It forges per-query NSEC owner names to prevent zone walking, which means responses can’t be broadly reused by resolvers and each miss requires fresh signing. That pushes cryptographic signing onto the hot path, so the key algorithm directly determines CPU and packet size. Dry information for those who are initiated: Draft: "Compact DNSSEC Denial of Existence or Black Lies" RFC 6605: "Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algor…  ( 8 min )

In the VS Code terminal: Nine years ago, my school decided to hold several extracurricular classes on different topics, and one of them was game development. I signed up for it purely out of curiosity. The class met once a week. The teacher taught us with great enthusiasm. None of us knew programming, but that wasn’t necessary we were using GameMaker Studio. We could implement game logic simply by dragging and dropping events, and we created our characters with the mouse in GameMaker’s environment, something like Windows Paint. By the end of the first session, I was completely absorbed in making a game and barely noticed what the teacher was saying. In my game, we had two characters, each controlled by a few keyboard keys.

Financial markets have discontinuities: prices jump up or down in a time so short that it can be considered a real discontinuity if the time measured by our clocks were really continuous, real line continuous. Those discontinuities create problems for many forms of mathematical modelling, since their modelling are based upon continuous functions. For instance, many price oscillations look like periodic functions, but when a discontinuity is found, any harmonic analysis becomes troublesome. Actually, a trend can also be troublesome to the fitting of periodic functions to financial data. But in this case, fitting a polynomial of low grade to the data can filter the trend and then a periodic function series can be fitted to the residuals, the difference between the fitted polynomial and the o…  ( 7 min )

Data lakehouses are everywhere in today’s conversations about modern data architecture. But before we get swept up in the buzz, it’s worth stepping back to understand how the industry got here — and what we truly need from a lakehouse. Then I’ll introduce Apache Doris as a next-generation lakehouse solution and show how it delivers on those expectations. In the early days of enterprise digital transformation, the growing complexity of business data gave rise to traditional data warehouses. These systems were designed to empower business intelligence (BI) by consolidating structured data from diverse sources through ETL pipelines. With features like well-defined schemas, columnar storage, and tightly coupled compute-storage architecture, data warehouses enabled fast, reliable analysis and r…  ( 15 min )

The Starting Line October 1st, 2025. Hacktoberfest had just begun, and I was staring at GitHub feeling completely lost. Everyone seemed to know exactly which projects to contribute to and how to craft the perfect pull request.

Hello Devs 👋 I recently tried Qodo Command, a CLI that lets you build, run, and automate AI-powered agents right from your repository like a custom AI assistants that live in your codebase.✨ Unlike generic AI tools or one-off scripts, Qodo agents are configurable, versionable, and CI-friendly. You describe what the agent should do (in a TOML/YAML file), and it runs that behavior consistently across local dev, PR checks, and CI pipelines. That means smarter automation for code review, reliability checks, documentation audits, test generation whatever your team needs. If you’ve ever wished for an assistant that enforces your project’s specific standards (not someone else’s), Qodo Command makes it possible.🫡 In this article I’ll cover: What Qodo Command actually does?

In the cloud, identity is the new perimeter. You can automate your entire infrastructure, perfect your DevOps pipelines, and deploy AI workloads across regions — but without a solid Microsoft Entra ID foundation, it all collapses.

Author: Dave MacLeod If you pay close attention to the latest developments with SurrealDB, you might have noticed that we are now integrated with the multi-agent framework Agno. We had a recent livestream together with the CEO of Agno Ashpreet Bedi, in which he mentions that one of areas where Agno focuses the most is on having agents produce input that is reliable, and in that SurrealDB has been a great fit in giving the LLM the perfect context on every request. The integration includes a number of examples in the Agno Cookbook produced by my coworker Martin Schaer, which are a great first step to get a sense of what can be done when SurrealDB and Agno work as a team. The first requirement to get started is to get a key from Claude, which is the LLM used in these examples. Clone the repo …  ( 14 min )

I have used things like the Raspberry Pi and also publicly self-host some services like Immich, Pi-Hole and Paperless-NGX on an unused M1 Mac mini. But I had no idea that a NAS box these days could have these many features. I expected something like a Raspberry Pi software or a random Linux distro with storage attached, but I was genuinely surprised at the ease of use. Synology calls its operating system DiskStation Manager or DSM. It is Linux-based and built for access through a web browser, as there are no display ports on NAS boxes. It is intuitive and user-friendly to a newbie like me. Powering on the NAS for the first time, and on navigating to finds.synology.com, it does a loca…  ( 10 min )

Introduction AI applications are experiencing unprecedented growth across industries—from customer service chatbots to autonomous agents handling sensitive business operations. As organizations rush to integrate Large Language Models (LLMs) into their systems, many overlook a critical question: Have you considered cybersecurity? Prompt injection attacks represent one of the most significant vulnerabilities in modern AI systems. Unlike traditional security threats, these attacks exploit the very nature of how LLMs process natural language, creating a "semantic gap" where malicious instructions can masquerade as legitimate user input. In this article, we'll explore 10 real-world prompt injection examples designed to test your application's defenses. These examples aren't just theoretical—t…  ( 13 min )

APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) play a crucial role in connecting different parts of complex applications. As systems become more distributed and interconnected, the need for reliable API testing becomes increasingly important. Tools for API testing help developers and QA teams ensure that these critical communication points work correctly, securely, and efficiently. Without proper testing, API issues can cascade through multiple layers of an application, leading to system-wide failures that are difficult and expensive to fix. Early implementation of comprehensive API testing not only prevents these problems but also contributes to faster UI development, improved security, and better system stability. The foundation of effective API testing lies in thorough response validation…  ( 9 min )

Measuring AI-driven Ad Success: Unlocking the Power of Incremental Click-Through Rate (iCTR) Gain In the ever-evolving landscape of digital advertising, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a game-changer in driving campaign success. At the heart of AI-driven ad success lies a single, crucial metric: Incremental Click-Through Rate (iCTR) gain. This metric measures the additional clicks generated by AI-optimized ads, providing a clear indication of ad performance. Let's consider an example: a campaign saw a 15% increase in iCTR, resulting in a staggering 4,287 additional clicks from AI-optimized ads. This, in turn, led to a remarkable 22.1% boost in conversions and a significant uplift in return on ad spend (ROAS). The question is, how can you harness the power of iCTR gain to optimize your ad campaigns and drive business growth? Calculating iCTR Gain: A Step-by-Step Guide To calculate iCTR gain, follow these simple steps: Determine baseline CTR: Identify t... This post was originally shared as an AI/ML insight.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the field of surgery with the integration of AI-powered robots. These cutting-edge machines are designed to assist surgeons in performing complex procedures with unparalleled precision. But what's truly groundbreaking is their ability to learn and adapt to a surgeon's unique touch and style, ultimately leading to improved outcomes over time. These AI robots, equipped with advanced machine learning algorithms, can analyze a surgeon's movements and adjust their own actions accordingly. As the surgeon gains more experience with the robot, it learns to anticipate and mimic their style, allowing for seamless coordination during procedures. This adaptability enables the robot to optimize its performance based on the surgeon's strengths and weaknesses, resulting in enhanced precision and reduced recovery times for patients. For instance, a study conducted on robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery found that the AI robot was able to learn and... This post was originally shared as an AI/ML insight.

This post is my submission for DEV Education Track: Build Apps with Google AI Studio. I built The Allegorical Illustrator, an application that transforms abstract philosophical concepts into stunning, allegorical art pieces. The app allows users to select a philosophical dilemma (like "The Ship of Theseus") and an artistic style (like "Japanese Woodblock Print") and uses AI to generate a unique visual representation along with a detailed explanation. This app was created iteratively using a series of prompts. The initial prompt was simply to build the application based on a descriptive image. From there, I added features through conversational requests like: "Implement a 'Share' button... that allows users to share the generated image and its explanation together as an image."

🚨 Boosting ML Model Robustness Against Money Laundering: The Power of Adversarial Training Money laundering detection is a critical task in the fight against financial crimes. However, machine learning (ML) models can be vulnerable to attacks that compromise their accuracy and effectiveness. To enhance ML model robustness against money laundering detection, we can leverage the power of adversarial training with data augmentations. The Adversarial Training Approach Adversarial training involves exposing ML models to adversarial examples that mimic real-world attacks. By training the model on these examples, it learns to recognize and resist the attacks, thereby improving its robustness. In the context of money laundering detection, we can create adversarial examples that mimic common money laundering tactics, such as: Structured Transactions: Creating batches of transactions that follow a structured pattern, making it difficult for the model to detect suspicious activi...

If your feed has been buzzing with mentions of x402 and you’re wondering what the excitement is about, you’re not alone. Even token listing sites are adding an x402 token category, but behind the memes and the hype is a genuinely interesting protocol that could change how we think about payments on the web. Let's break it down. The missing HTTP status code gets a job Developers have long known about HTTP 402: Payment Required, a status code that has existed for years but has never had a standardized implementation. The x402 protocol finally gives it a purpose: a standardized way to request, verify, and settle onchain payments directly through the web's native request-response cycle. Instead of integrating with third-party billing systems or managing API keys, x402 lets a client and serve…  ( 8 min )

Unlock Superhuman Classification: Train on Positives Alone Tired of painstakingly labeling negative examples? Imagine building highly accurate multi-class classifiers using only positive data and a pool of unlabeled samples. What if you could automatically adapt your training process to heavily penalize misclassifications in the rarest categories? This is no longer a dream – it's a reality. The key is cost-sensitive, unbiased risk estimation. We can train our models by cleverly assigning different importance weights to positive examples versus those we infer as negative from the unlabeled data. This weighting dynamically adapts during training to create a balanced and unbiased view of the underlying data distribution, even if some classes are vastly underrepresented. Think of it like t…  ( 7 min )

Ever wondered if there’s a way to make AI fast, efficient, and noise-resistant — without just throwing more data and GPUs at it? Meet Hyperdimensional Computing (HDC). What is Hyperdimensional Computing? HDC is a next-gen computing paradigm inspired by how the brain handles information — but on steroids. Instead of traditional bits or tensors, HDC uses hypervectors: insanely high-dimensional vectors (think 10,000+ dimensions). Every piece of info exists in this massive space, making the system fast, fault-tolerant, and capable of reasoning-like generalization. It’s not quantum. It’s not your typical neural net. Think of it as a bridge between symbolic logic and brain-style computation. Why HDC Matters Blazing-fast learning with minimal data. Fault-tolerant: even corrupted bits won’t break it. Works on regular hardware or specialized neuromorphic chips. Could redefine AI efficiency and on-chip intelligence. In short: it’s brain-inspired math that could outsmart brute-force AI.

I’m currently working on a project called JPlus (GitHub: https://github.com/nieuwmijnleven/JPlus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0z_aIyBpJso Here’s a quick summary of what JPlus offers: Full Java compatibility — existing Java libraries and frameworks work without modification. Null safety at the language level (nullable types, safe‑access operator etc.). Type inference, lambda/higher‑order functions, pattern matching. Boilerplate elimination via an apply syntax (for things like data classes, builders, constructors). Gradual adoption model — you can keep using plain Java, and selectively adopt JPlus features. Compilation to plain Java code, so you run on the JVM and benefit from its ecosystem/performance. My question for the JVM‑community here is: Given the current JVM ecosystem (Java, Kotlin, Scala, Groovy, etc.), what are the realistic chances that a language like JPlus could gain mainstream adoption? Are there historical patterns for Java superset languages becoming widely adopted? What factors might accelerate or hinder adoption for a language that stays close to Java syntax while adding modern features? I’d love to hear thoughts from people experienced with JVM language evolution, adoption patterns, or designing new JVM languages.  ( 6 min )

Hey everyone Today’s milestone — Day 8 — was all about exploring CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and learning how to make boring HTML pages look awesome. What is CSS? CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) controls how HTML elements appear on screen. Why CSS matters: It separates design from structure, keeping code clean Helps apply consistent styling across pages Makes websites easier to maintain and scale Linking CSS to HTML Before adding styles, you must connect your CSS file to HTML using the tag in the section: ⚙️ My First CSS Boilerplate To start clean, I built a small boilerplate to reset browser defaults. * { margin: 0; padding: 0; box-sizing: border-box; } html, body { height: 100%; width: 100%; background-color: azure; } It may look simple, but this sets up a perfect foundation for all styling work ahead. Exploring Text Properties This is where things got fun — experimenting with how text behaves and looks. font-size: 20px; Each property gives creative control — typography is where design meets personality. This was one of the “Aha!” moments for me. ID → unique, used once per element (#idname) Class → reusable for multiple elements (.classname) Example: #student { color: blue; } .college { color: green; } Think of IDs as roll numbers, and Classes as groups — simple but powerful. Using Custom Fonts (@font-face) One of my favorite CSS tricks is using custom fonts. @font-face { font-family: 'MyFont'; src: url('myfont.ttf'); } Now I can style my page with fonts that truly match the theme or mood of the project 🖋️ 💬 Final Thoughts Day 8 taught me that CSS is not just about colors or spacing — it’s an art form. Next up → Selectors, Colors, and Layout Magic. 💭 Question for you: What’s your go-to CSS property when you start styling a new project? Drop it below 👇  ( 8 min )

TL;DR: Building apps for Smart TVs with React is nothing like the web. Here’s how we made a sports streaming platform stay stable and responsive on Samsung TVs — even with memory limits, performance quirks, and old hardware. When we were asked to bring a sports streaming app to millions of Samsung Smart TVs — including models as old as 2017 — we knew performance and compatibility would be our biggest hurdles. And yes, those hurdles were real. Even after months of tuning, older Samsung models still push the limits — memory leaks, dropped frames, unpredictable behavior. But the app holds up. It recovers, it doesn’t crash, and that’s a win when you’re running React on a TV from 2017. Our client, NativeWaves, delivers interactive streaming experiences for sports and entertainment.

This is a submission for the 2025 Hacktoberfest Writing Challenge: Contribution Chronicles This year marks my first ever Hacktoberfest contribution. 🧩 Enhancement-1 Advance Java Programs. While reviewing it, I found many concept-based examples that were quite useful. It reminded me of a real-world scenario I had come across while practicing Java Streams from an interview preparation book. At that time, I couldn’t fully solve it. I realized that adding this real-world example to the repository would provide additional value and help others learn Java Streams more effectively. Enhancement-2 Java Programs. I noticed it had many great Java examples but lacked one demonstrating the combined use of Streams and Maps. So, I decided to contribute an example on this topic. My PR Product Analysis using Java Streams adds a program that simulates a store and uses Java Streams and Maps to count products in each category. It was appreciated by the maintainer with the feedback; "This is a great submission! The program is clean, and highly efficient" This PR includes basic example to understand Abstraction in java. The maintainer merged the PR, but the repository excluded by the Hacktoberfest community. Enhancement-3 code-contribution that contains many problems similar to those we solve on LeetCode and HackerRank. It reminded me of the problems I recently solved on HackerRank, so I decided to contribute one of them to the repository. It was great way to refresh my knowledge, and I was able to solve it even better this time before. I’m really proud to have participated in Hacktoberfest this year! It was an amazing experience contributing to open-source projects, learning from the community, and improving my coding skills. I’m even happier to share that three of my pull requests were approved and officially recognized on the Hacktoberfest website. This achievement has boosted my confidence and inspired me to continue contributing to meaningful open-source initiatives in the future.  ( 7 min )

Besides, the installed Odoo from this method is packaged with Postgres 12, which is relatively old in my opinion. I tried to set up Odoo from scratch by its Git repository since this is recommended to developers, but installing its required Python libraries always ended up in a variety of errors.

I watch my wife every day as she builds tng.sh, and I see things she probably doesn't realize I notice. I see the struggle. The weight of being a CEO sits heavy on her shoulders. There are late nights when the fears creep in—Will this work? Will people come? Is it enough? The doubts that every founder faces but rarely talks about. But I also see the growth. With each demo, each pitch, each conversation, she's becoming more confident. She's finding her voice. She's starting to believe—really believe—in what she's building. Even when she can't see it herself, I can see her changing, becoming stronger. I see the emotions she tries to hide. The spark of excitement when someone finally gets it. The quiet disappointment when they don't. The determination that brings her back the next day to try again. Building something from nothing takes courage, and she shows up with it every single day. I watch her give demos, asking people to believe in our tool, asking them to help us build this dream. There's something remarkable about watching someone you love put themselves out there like that. And I see myself in all of this too. I'm trying to help, but I'm not always a good listener. I miss things sometimes. I don't always say the right words or catch what she really needs in the moment. But I'm doing my best. I'm here, beside her, trying. The truth is, this isn't really about whether tng.sh succeeds or fails, though I really, really wish for her success. It's about watching her become who she's meant to be. It's about being beside her through the struggle. It's about knowing I get to witness this journey. She deserves to succeed. Not just because she's working hard—lots of people work hard. But because she's brave enough to keep going when it's uncertain, vulnerable enough to ask for help, and persistent enough to believe even when it's hard. That's what I see when I watch my wife build tng.sh. And that's what matters most.  ( 7 min )

As web developers, our backend choices shape the entire performance, security, and maintainability of the applications we build. Whether it’s handling heavy data processing, ensuring system resilience, or providing seamless APIs for frontend consumption, the backend is the backbone. Lately, I’ve been diving deep into Rust and Go — both lan…  ( 8 min )

Google thought I was mining Bitcoin - mining it like it's 2018 baby. But no, wasn't doing that (again). I was running a L1s validator test node—you know, the exact kind of blockchain infrastructure that legitimate DeFi platforms actually need. The kind that requires computational resources because that's how distributed consensus works. The kind that works really well on cloud providers... But Google's threat detection AI apparently can't tell the difference between "crypto mining operation" and "blockchain validator infrastructure." So they banned me. Not just for that, mind you. The ban was a trifecta: Running security scans (with explicit authorisation from targets) Operating honeypots (literal security research) Running that "Bitcoin miner" (a Sui test node m8) One day I'm building awa…  ( 8 min )

Bitcoin’s recent decline below the $108,000 mark places the asset at a pivotal point. The broader market is questioning whether this is a temporary correction or the beginning of a more substantial downturn. Caution from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and renewed uncertainty regarding a potential rate cut in December have contributed to a shift toward risk aversion. While retail participants remain hesitant, institutional investors appear to be positioning for the next move. The Federal Reserve’s 25 bps rate cut was largely anticipated and already reflected in asset prices. However, Powell’s emphasis on a “data-dependent” approach during the latest FOMC meeting dampened expectations for additional easing this year. This stance drove capital flows back into U.S. Treasuries and strengthened the dollar, resulting in higher yields and downward pressure on Bitcoin. The outcome was a rapid liquidation of leveraged long positions and a notable cooling of the bullish momentum seen throughout the summer. Bitcoin currently trades just above a key support zone between $107,200 and $106,600. Key indicators show: RSI below 50 → weakening momentum MACD bearish crossover → potential short-term downside pressure A daily close below $106,600 could open the path toward $104,000, while a rebound above $110,500 may pave the way for a test of the $114,000–$116,000 range. Trading volume suggests that selling pressure is subsiding. On-chain data also indicates potential whale accumulation, a signal that volatility could soon stabilize. If macro conditions improve and the Federal Reserve’s narrative turns less restrictive, a recovery rally could emerge before mid-November. The next few sessions will be crucial. Whether Bitcoin can defend the $108,000 support will likely determine the market’s direction heading into Q4. Institutional players are positioning for a rebound — if their analysis proves correct, this phase could represent one of the last favorable entry points before the next upward cycle.  ( 7 min )

Workflow automation is at the core of any scalable digital infrastructure. Whether you're streamlining internal operations, integrating third-party platforms, or reducing manual handoffs, the need for flexible and resilient automation has become a baseline expectation—not a luxury. This article compares two significant players in this space: AgentKit and n8n. While both platforms offer automation capabilities, they stem from fundamentally different philosophies. AgentKit positions itself as an agentic workflow builder—enabling systems that can reason, plan, and act autonomously. In contrast, n8n is a more traditional low-code workflow automation platform, prioritising visual logic, extensibility, and integrations. The objective is to give you a detailed, no-fluff breakdown of how each plat…  ( 9 min )

An introduction, full article linked at the bottom. TL;DR The preprocessing trick that lets fast compression algorithms achieve heavy compression ratios Most logging systems assume cloud-era resources: unlimited CPU, RAM, and cheap storage. But what if you're running edge computing, IoT devices, or just want to keep cloud bills under control? We started with a simple question: how many logs can you realistically process on consumer hardware before hitting a wall? Instead of throwing raw logs at LZ4, we preprocess them first - transforming logs into a low-entropy format that compressors love. Key innovations: Smart preprocessing** reduces entropy before compression Lock-free queues** handle 21M+ logs/sec without contention Batch compression** finds longer patterns for better ratios Temporal caching** leverages natural log patterns Tested on a stock Lenovo P14s (Ryzen 5 Pro, NVMe SSD, 96GB RAM) 250 Million Logs - Multiple Configurations 1 thread, 500KB batch (economy mode): The architecture is centered around ring buffers and lock-free queues. Core architecture: 170KB C DLL - zero dependencies AVX2-optimized code paths Highly configurable memory footprint (20MB to GB+) Live telemetry and atomic sequencing Edge computing: Full logging on resource-constrained devices Cost reduction: 80%+ savings on storage and egress fees High-throughput systems: Maintain detailed logs without I/O bottlenecks Security: Complete audit trails with minimal resources This isn't just about faster compression - it's about rethinking logging as a data optimization problem. By moving intelligence upstream, we can handle orders of magnitude more data on the same hardware.

Hey devs! 👋 I’m planning to build a Flutter app with two sides: a sender and a potential receiver. The receiver could have the app open, in the background, or even killed. The idea is: When the sender sends a request, the app checks if the receiver is nearby (within 50 km). If they are, the receiver gets a notification like: “Someone nearby sent a request.” Ideally, it would also know the receiver’s location relative to the sender, but that’s optional. I’m aware that iOS and Android have strict background/killed app restrictions, so I’m looking for a reliable, cross-platform solution. If it only works on one platform, that’s fine too. If anyone has experience with: Background location tracking in Flutter Sending notifications from killed apps Proximity-based triggers …please share your approach or any guidance.

Modern backend systems—especially in the era of AI agents, MCP servers, and multi-cloud architectures—are evolving far beyond static credentials and monolithic identity models. In this post we explore the architecture of token exchange, identity federation, and how a system like ToolHive enables secure deployment of MCP servers in this world. The MCP authorization specification focuses on how to authorize access to the MCP server itself. It doesn't specify how an MCP server should authenticate with the server it's connecting to. This leaves MCP server creators without clear guidance. In many deployments of MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers and tooling services today, developers still default to patterns like: A service-account JSON key or a long-lived API key embedded in configuration. …  ( 9 min )

You've set up a k3s Kubernetes cluster on your Raspberry Pi and deployed an application. While managing it remotely with kubectl from your main computer is great, sometimes you need to quickly check pod status or logs directly on the Pi itself. You might notice that just typing kubectl get pods on the Pi gives you a connection error. That's because the standard kubectl command doesn't automatically know where to find the k3s cluster configuration or have the right permissions. Luckily, k3s provides a handy wrapper command! Here's how to use it: SSH into your Raspberry Pi: ssh @ # Example: ssh pi-admin@k3s-node.local Run the k3s kubectl Command: kubectl commands with sudo k3s kubectl. This special command automatically uses the correct admin configuration (/etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml) and runs with the necessary permissions. To check your running pods: # On the Pi sudo k3s kubectl get pods -A # -A shows pods in all namespaces Or, if you know the namespace (e.g., default): # On the Pi sudo k3s kubectl get pods -n default Check Pod Logs (Optional but useful): get pods command above (it will look something like my-app-deployment-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxx). Then, view its logs: # On the Pi - Replace and sudo k3s kubectl logs -f -n # Example: sudo k3s kubectl logs -f my-app-deployment-7f8c9d4b4f-g2hjl -n default The -f flag follows the logs in real-time, showing you the latest output from your application's container directly in the Pi's terminal. That's all there is to it! Using sudo k3s kubectl is the straightforward way to interact with your k3s cluster directly on the node it's running on.  ( 6 min )

Quantization is an essential optimization technique to adapt a model to edge devices, realizing the hardware’s full potential. In practice, quantization refers to converting high-precision numerical types to lower-precision formats for both weights and activations. Most commonly, quantization converts 32-bit floating point (float32) to int8, often applied using post-training quantization (PTQ) where the model is quantized after training without requiring retraining. The result is a smaller and faster model on-device by cutting memory traffic up to 4× and enabling specialized int8 vector/NPU instructions with lower compute latency. Quantization: Converting from float precision to int data format to increase computational efficiency. However, quantization decreases the model’s expressivity …  ( 8 min )

For logistics managers navigating international borders, efficiency is everything. An in-bond shipment is a critical procedure that provides the flexibility needed to keep goods moving, even before all customs formalities are complete. An in-bond shipment refers to the physical movement of imported goods under a customs bond from one point to another within a country's borders, without the goods having been formally cleared through customs. This is not a single event but a process of transportation. The bond acts as a contract between the importer/carrier and the government, guaranteeing that the goods will reach their designated customs port for examination and clearance. Common Scenarios for an In-Bond Shipment: Port Congestion: Moving a container from a busy seaport to a less congested inland port for examination. Final Destination Clearance: Transporting goods from the arrival airport to a land-border crossing where the importer's customs broker is located. Transit to a Third Country: Moving goods across the U.S. to be exported to Canada or Mexico. The entire process is tightly regulated, requiring specific electronic filings and adherence to designated routes. To understand the complete process, types, and compliance requirements, this guide on in-bond shipments is an invaluable resource. Conclusion: Leveraging an in-bond shipment is a strategic move for any business looking to optimize transit times and reduce port-side delays, making the entire supply chain more agile and cost-effective.  ( 6 min )

Blue/Green deployment is a simple way to update software without causing downtime or breaking things for users. You create two environments—Blue (current version) and Green (new version)—and switch traffic to Green only when it's ready. Imagine you run a restaurant. You want to renovate the kitchen, but you can’t stop serving food. So, you build a second kitchen next door, test everything there, and once it’s perfect, you start cooking in the new kitchen and close the old one. That’s the idea behind Blue/Green deployment in software! It’s a strategy used by developers to release new versions of software without downtime and with minimal risk.

I taught myself HTML a long time ago, on a software called HotDog (Pro?). There wasn't such a thing as WYSIWYG capabilities at the time. However, HotDog had an amazing feature: the toolbar had all HTML tags (there weren't that many at the time) as buttons, and you could learn them by clicking on them and watching the results. The only downside was that you had to click on another button to close the tag. Then came Dreamweaver. It was the first WYSIWYG editor, and it immediately became very popular. People who had no clue about HTML started to use it: the number of websites skyrocketed. I used it once and looked at the generated HTML.

On a busy construction site, losing track of one tool can slow down an entire crew. A missing drill. A misplaced generator. Hours wasted searching instead of building. It happens more often than most teams admit. Tools get left on trucks, moved between sites, or borrowed without record.

GitHub Home I'll never forget that afternoon. We had just launched a new feature allowing users to upload their profile pictures. Everything seemed perfect. Until one user, whether intentionally or not, tried to upload a 2GB movie file from his computer. 🎬 The server's memory monitor instantly turned red, CPU usage shot up to 100%, and then, the entire service crashed and burned. 😵‍💫 Why? Because our rudimentary web framework tried to read the entire uploaded file into memory for processing. A 2GB request body instantly blew up our small server, which only had 4GB of memory. This is a classic, and extremely painful, "rookie mistake." Handling files, whether uploading or downloading, is one of the most common requirements in web development. But precisely because it's common, we often ov…  ( 9 min )

Welcome to the Algorithm Series: String Matching Algorithms Imagine trying to find a single word in a thousand-page book by flipping through every page, scanning every line, and hoping your eyes catch the right sequence of letters. Now imagine a system that can do the same thing across millions of documents in milliseconds. That’s the magic of String Matching Algorithms, the invisible engines making modern search possible. They’re the hidden force behind Google’s lightning-fast searches, code editors that highlight matches as you type, plagiarism detectors that scan billions of texts, and even bioinformatics tools that compare DNA sequences. String Matching Algorithms, also known as Pattern Matching Algorithms is the process of finding one or more occurrences of a pattern (substring) i…  ( 12 min )

TL;DR: As microservices multiply across modern systems, the choice of API protocol can make or break performance. REST has ruled for years, but gRPC promises to be faster, leaner and more efficient. So why hasn't it taken over? Microservices can be heavily dependent on each other, which means speed and stability is key. When gRPC claims to be faster than REST, why isn't it the de facto standard? In this blog we will put gRPC and REST head to head, to see which is actually faster. gRPC is a superior technology to REST! At least that is what this1, this2, this3 and this blog4 claims. According to all the mentioned blogs, gRPC performs better and faster than a REST on several metrics. In this blog we will test specifically, how fast a REST client can handle different request and responses, an…  ( 13 min )

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is changing the game for LLMs. Here’s a simple guide on what it is and why you, as a developer, should care. If you've spent any time working with Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-4 or Llama, you've probably hit "the wall." It's that moment when you realize the model's knowledge is frozen in time, stuck back in 2023 (or earlier!), and it has absolutely no idea about your company's new internal API, recent news events, or the specifics of your private codebase. Their answers are plausible but generic. They "hallucinate" facts. They can't access or use new information. This is the exact problem Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) was designed to solve. It's not a new model; it's a clever architecture that gives your LLM access to the outside world, …  ( 9 min )

This is a submission for Frontend Challenge - Halloween Edition, CSS Art.

I once spent three days debugging a race condition that didn't exist. The symptoms were real. Intermittent failures in production, impossible to reproduce locally, logs that made no sense. I added print statements, rewrote entire modules, questioned my understanding of threading. I was convinced the bug was in the code. It wasn't. The bug was in my head. I was so certain about how the system worked that I couldn't see what was actually happening. My mental model was wrong, and every hour I spent debugging was just reinforcing the wrong model. The breakthrough came when a junior developer asked a naive question that exposed my flawed assumption. The actual fix took five minutes. Unlearning my incorrect mental model took three days of frustration. This is the pattern that destroys more caree…  ( 13 min )

The Productivity System I Taught to 6,642 Googlers Over nine years, Jeff Su distilled every bit of workplace info into a four-step CORE workflow—Capture, Organize, Review, Engage—that you can plug into any note-taking tool you already use. The idea is to dump every task or idea into one inbox, sort it with minimal fuss, check back on a schedule, then block out focused time to actually get things done. According to Jeff, it only takes about two weeks to make it second nature (no more missed emails or relying on memory!). Why it works: by handling all incoming info the same way, you never drop the ball, and you banish the guilt of “should-be-doing-work” brain clutter. Whether you’re juggling project briefs, meeting notes or quick thoughts, CORE keeps you on top of everything—so you can spend energy doing, not remembering. Watch on YouTube  ( 6 min )

Imagine this: you’re optimizing your JavaScript code and you notice something odd. You’re using a Map to store some configuration settings or feature flags, but when you benchmark it against a plain object, it feels slower. Both Map and Object provide O(1) lookups, so what’s happening under the hood? Let’s break it down. Many developers assume that Map is the modern, better alternative to Object for all key-value storage. And for certain cases, it absolutely is. But here’s the thing: if your keys are strings and the set of keys is relatively small and fixed, an Object is almost always faster. Why? Let’s dive into the mechanics. Consider this scenario: you have a set of API endpoints your application uses. // Using an Object const endpoints = { login: '/api/login', logout: '/api/logout'…  ( 8 min )

Tyshawn Sorey spent a whirlwind spring at the Big Ears Festival in Knoxville, juggling talks, collaborations and performances, but it was his new piece, Monochromatic Light (Afterlife), that stole the show. Inspired by the dark, light-revealing color fields of Houston’s Rothko Chapel and Morton Feldman’s 1971 score, Sorey strips music down to its barest elements. By letting go of traditional structures, he crafts a sonic canvas where tiny shifts in texture and time pull you into a meditative space. Bass-baritone Davóne Tines, who stars in the piece, says those long silences are “places of reflection and rest.” Just like Rothko’s near-black paintings that only reveal their true glow over time, Sorey’s music uses silence as a powerful tool to slow us down, invite deep listening and offer a much-needed break from our noisy world.

Running security scans manually gets old fast. You start with good intentions — "I'll scan every Friday before release" — but then Friday becomes Saturday becomes "whenever I remember." The solution? Automation. But here's the problem: most security tools don't integrate cleanly with CI/CD platforms.

The Productivity System I Taught to 6,642 Googlers Over nine years at Google, Jeff Su perfected a simple, four-step workflow—Capture, Organize, Review, Engage (CORE)—to tame every type of workplace info. You dump ideas and tasks into your tool of choice the moment they pop up, sort them with zero fuss, revisit them in regular review sessions, and then block dedicated time to actually get stuff done. No more mental juggling or willpower hacks: within two weeks, CORE becomes second nature. It works with any app you’re already using, and once everything’s captured and scheduled, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it. Watch on YouTube  ( 6 min )

On-Device AI Inference: How to Boost Your C# App's Performance I've been experimenting with on-device AI inference lately, and honestly, the performance gains are kind of wild. Last weekend, I was working on a healthcare app prototype that needed to process patient data locally (HIPAA compliance, you know the drill), and I started diving into what's changed in the edge AI landscape as we head into Q4 2025. The big shift? Hardware has finally caught up with the hype. We're not just talking about running basic sentiment analysis on-device anymore—we're running legitimate AI workloads that would've required cloud roundtrips just a year ago.

☕ The Stories We Hear I guess you’ve all heard stories like this: He pushed code at 9:00 AM, HR pushed him out at 9:05 AM. Another one said he went to work in the morning, and his desk had turned into a “wellness area” with free snacks and coffee. These stories sound like jokes. But they tell a simple truth. In the last couple of years, thousands of tech workers have been laid off not because tech is dying, but because it’s changing faster than people can adapt. Microsoft cut over 6,000 roles in 2025, partly to “restructure for AI efficiency.” Google’s parent company, Alphabet, removed 12,000 jobs in 2023 their biggest cut ever. Amazon has been downsizing teams repeatedly, aligning with automation and AI initiatives. The message is clear: being a technical person isn’t enough anymore. After years of writing code, I realized something humbling: AI is more technical than me. I decided to focus on what AI can’t do: Having a physical presence working directly with teams and clients. Expanding my knowledge across different fields: infrastructure, security, even design thinking. Improving communication and project management. Learning just enough of other languages and frameworks to understand the big picture. And yes even latte art. (If I can’t beat the AI in code, I can at least make the best coffee for the boss.) Most importantly, I learned how to work with AI efficiently giving it direction, context, and correction. At first, it felt like giving up. But soon, the results started to show. None of that would’ve happened if I’d stayed focused only on coding syntax. The new world doesn’t need thousands of programmers who all know the same thing. So don’t try to out-code AI. Out-think it. Out-plan it. Out-human it. Because the ones who can work with AI not against it will be the ones who build the future. ChatGPT steals your job, it might just write you a better résumé too.  ( 7 min )

When emails fail to update or folders don’t refresh properly, it can interrupt daily workflow and cause unnecessary frustration. These disruptions often stem from sync errors that prevent messages from being delivered or received promptly. Fortunately, resolving such technical hitches doesn’t have to be complicated. With a few focused steps, users can often restore proper synchronization and get their inbox running smoothly again. Before taking action, it helps to identify why sync problems occur. Sync Issues in Outlook typically happen when there’s a temporary interruption between the mail client and the server. This can be caused by unstable internet connections, outdated software, large attachments, or incorrect account settings. Occasionally, background processes or add-ins interfere w…  ( 7 min )

Hey dev.to community, For college football enthusiasts, few documents are as scrutinized as the weekly depth chart. It's the sacred text revealing who's starting, who's injured, and who's climbing the ranks. For programs like Penn State or Texas, having the most up-to-date Penn State Depth Chart or Texas Football Depth Chart is crucial for fans, analysts, and even fantasy players. But these charts are incredibly dynamic, changing due to injuries, performance, and coaching decisions. Manually tracking these shifts across dozens of teams is a Herculean task. This is where automation and data engineering come into play. This post will explore the technical challenges and solutions involved in building tools for dynamic depth chart analysis, transforming raw, often unstructured, data into acti…  ( 8 min )

Introduction In my article Dynamically Allocating 2D Arrays Efficiently (and Correctly!) in C, I showed how to do exactly that by allocating a buffer then using pointers within it to point to the start of rows later in the same buffer. It was recently pointed out to me by a reader that there’s a much simpler way to do it. If you want to allocate an m × n 2D matrix, you can much more simply do: int (*const a)[m] = malloc( m * n * sizeof(int) ); a[i][j] = 42; // works free( a ); where a is a constant pointer to an array of m integers. Although it’s using variable length array (VLA) syntax, it’s not allocating a VLA on the stack since malloc is being used. Yet the compiler is still generating VLA-like code in order to calculate the offset of the ith row at runtime, that is multiplying m × sizeof(int) — a variable, not a constant integer expression. The only caveat is that gcc with the -Wvla warning enabled complains that a VLA is being used. I mean, it is sort-of, but not the allocate-on-the-stack part which is the dangerous part. The above code is safe in that it can’t overflow the stack. Note that if you want to allocate a triangular matrix, then you’ll still need to use the method I described in my previous article. It just goes to show that even after as long as I’ve been doing C, there’s still something to learn about it.  ( 6 min )

The Problem Most Small Business Owners Don’t Talk About There’s a silent pressure that builds as the year winds down. On the outside, small businesses are launching promotions, running events, and pushing hard to hit goals. But behind the scenes, many owners are running on fumes—scrambling to keep up with emails, content, customer demands, and year-end decisions. According to Florida-based strategist Jon-Paul Vasta, this isn’t just a Q4 issue. It’s a systems issue—and artificial intelligence might be the key to solving it. “Most small business stress doesn’t come from the work itself,” Vasta says. “It comes from trying to do everything manually, without enough time or tools.” That’s why Vasta is helping entrepreneurs turn to AI—not for shortcuts, but for sustainability.

Designing Animations That Feel Expensive Most apps move. Only a few flow. how intentionally time and motion are used. That sense of flow is what separates hobby projects from products that feel “high-end.” When an animation lands just right, easing in, pausing at the right frame, fading naturally, it gives the user subconscious trust. It tells them: this interface was crafted, not assembled. “Animation isn’t flair, it’s feedback.” Recently, I’ve been mentoring a young briliant developer still in Middle school at 10th grade, already building solid Android apps. I’ve been teaching her how motion design, when guided by research and design principles, can elevate an interface from functional to elegant. Once she began applying those principles, her apps stopped looking like prototypes and s…  ( 13 min )

Fewer layers, more integrity Web development has become fragmented — endless frameworks, build tools, libraries, runtimes, and hosting options. Now the trend is reversing: full-stack frameworks like Next.js, Remix, SvelteKit, Nuxt, and Astro merge frontend, backend, routing, and deployment. Serverless platforms (Vercel, Cloudflare, Supabase) integrate runtime, hosting, and data, while edge runtimes and isomorphic JS let the same code run client/server. Zero-config is the future: no manual webpack, Babel, or ESLint. Tools like Vite, Bun, and Deno auto-optimize builds; platforms like Vercel and Netlify deploy on Git push; AI tools (GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT) assist or auto-generate interfaces and APIs. Boundaries dissolve: Figma-to-code plugins, Tailwind, design tokens, and component ecosystems (React, Web Components, shadcn/ui) standardize and unify UI patterns. Soon, a common declarative language may generate both UI and logic. Instead of wiring APIs manually, you’ll describe data and interactions in plain language. AI scaffolds, connects, and maintains everything. Coders won’t disappear — they’ll focus on UX, logic, and business rules. Expect a unified meta-framework, built-in AI scaffolding, a universal runtime (WASM + edge functions), and integrated persistent data. Essentially: describe your app, get an instantly deployable full-stack experience. What are your thoughts on such "prophecy"? Read an extended article -> here.  ( 6 min )

Oklou’s Tiny Desk Adventure Paris-based artist Oklou (Marylou Mayniel) jetted across the Atlantic—baby in tow—to team up with an eight-piece choir and rework four tracks from her debut album Choke Enough. Stripping away her signature electronics and autotune, they built intimate acoustic arrangements around piano, guitar and a towering marimba, even finessing fire-like crackles with bubble wrap and sticks gathered right before showtime. Joined by arranger/multi-instrumentalist Casey MQ, Oklou breathes new life into “ict,” “blade bird” and a bare-bones “harvest sky” (complete with a haunting recorder melody), plus debuts “what’s good,” a fresh tune set for the deluxe edition of Choke Enough. The result is a warm, exploratory folk-meets-choir session that highlights Oklou’s voice and adventurous spirit. Watch on YouTube  ( 6 min )

If you’ve been diving into LangChain, you’ve probably noticed that it has a pretty elegant way of standardizing how LLMs interact with external tools — whether those are APIs, databases, or your own custom functions. At the heart of this design are function calling and tool calling — mechanisms that give the LLM structured ways to perform actions beyond text generation. In this post, I’ll walk through what they are, how they work, and why they’re so powerful. Function calling lets an LLM decide when and how to use a function (or “tool”) you’ve defined. Instead of hard-coding logic for every possible task, you provide the LLM with a list of available tools and their schemas — and it figures out which one to call, if any. Here’s the magic part: When the model determines a tool is needed, it…  ( 9 min )

Automated testing is a critical component of modern software development practices. However, its maintenance costs are often high, making it difficult to achieve high automated test coverage in projects with limited resources. Naturally, some consider using visual low-code platforms to simplify the writing and maintenance of test cases. But, the fundamental challenge in automated test maintenance is not about visualization, but rather the fragility of test cases. Generally, the test cases we write adopt an external perspective: provide input, call a function, and then check the return result. However, business functions are rarely so-called pure functions; their execution inevitably involves numerous side effects, such as reading/writing databases, concurrent access, generating random numb…  ( 17 min )

The rise of AI marks a critical shift away from decades defined by information-chasing and a push for more and more compute power.  Canva co-founder and CPO Cameron Adams refers to this dawning time as the “imagination era.” Meaning: Individuals and enterprises must be able to turn creativity into action with AI.   Canva hopes to position itself at the center of this shift with a sweeping new suite of tools. The company’s new Creative Operating System (COS) integrates AI across every layer of content creation, creating a single, comprehensive creativity platform rather than a simple, template-based design tool. “We’re entering a new era where we need to rethink how we achieve our goals,” said Adams. “We’re enabling people’s imagination and giving them the tools they need to take action.” A…

🔐 The Invisible Backbone of the Digital World I’d dare to say that cryptography is the backbone of the digital era. Without it, the Internet would be a chaotic and insecure place. Thanks to the relentless work of scientists, mathematicians, and engineers who have perfected the cryptographic algorithms we use today, it’s possible to transfer money, protect conversations, authenticate identities, and ensure privacy in every corner of our connected world. Without cryptography, there would be no secure banking transactions, no blockchain, and no trust in digital communication. Every message, every payment, and every login would be a risk. In short, cryptography doesn’t just protect data — it protects our very way of life in the 21st century. As developers, we constantly interact with cryptog…  ( 7 min )

GitHub Home About ten years into my career, I experienced a security incident that still gives me chills. We were developing an online trading system for a financial client. A young programmer on the team, trying to take a shortcut while writing an endpoint to query order history, directly concatenated SQL strings. Yes, you read that right—the most classic, textbook SQL injection vulnerability. 😈 A hacker exploited this vulnerability, bypassed authentication, and walked away with the entire user table. By the time we discovered it, it was too late. For the next few months, our entire team lived in a nightmare: cooperating with investigations, appeasing the client, fixing the vulnerability, and auditing all other company projects for similar risks.

GitHub Home I'll never forget that afternoon. We had just launched a new feature allowing users to upload their profile pictures. Everything seemed perfect. Until one user, whether intentionally or not, tried to upload a 2GB movie file from his computer. 🎬 The server's memory monitor instantly turned red, CPU usage shot up to 100%, and then, the entire service crashed and burned. 😵‍💫 Why? Because our rudimentary web framework tried to read the entire uploaded file into memory for processing. A 2GB request body instantly blew up our small server, which only had 4GB of memory. This is a classic, and extremely painful, "rookie mistake." Handling files, whether uploading or downloading, is one of the most common requirements in web development.

Remember when (at least part of) the industry realised "DevOps isn't a job title"? We're making the same mistake again, now with DevSecOps. Companies are hiring "DevSecOps Engineers," thinking they've solved security. They've just renamed the problem. Some years ago, organisations started to rush into hire "DevOps Engineers" believing they could buy their way into better collaboration and faster delivery. Instead, they got siloed teams with new titles, operating much like the old separation between development and operations. The 2016 State of DevOps Report by Puppet (published by DORA.dev now) found that high-performing organisations treated DevOps as a cultural practice, not a job description. Teams that successfully adopted DevOps had shared ownership across roles. The same principle a…  ( 9 min )

When people say "Linux is more secure than Windows", they're often half right - and half overconfident. Linux is built on strong security principles, but it's not immune to misconfigurations, privilege escalations, or human mistakes.

If you had told me a year ago that I’d be building websites, writing code, and juggling multiple tech programs all at once, I’d have laughed it off. Back then, coding felt like something distant something only “tech people” did. But that changed the moment I wrote my first line of HTML and saw it appear on a browser. It was a small thing, but it lit a spark that hasn’t gone out since. How It All Started I built my first project a simple recipe page and even though it wasn’t perfect, it felt like an accomplishment. It was mine. Then came freeCodeCamp, and that’s where everything began to connect. The lessons were clear and practical. I earned certifications in HTML and CSS, learned about accessibility, semantic elements, and created small projects like a café menu and a personal business ca…  ( 7 min )

Modern AI applications—RAG chatbots, copilot assistants, and voice agents—fail in ways that are subtle, context-dependent, and often nondeterministic. Debugging them requires more than log inspection or ad hoc prompt fixes. It demands engineered observability across the agent graph, structured evaluations to quantify quality, and a repeatable root cause analysis (RCA) process that shortens the path from issue to fix. This guide explains how to design AI observability for production systems, how to do RCA for agentic failures, and how teams use Maxim AI’s end-to-end platform—spanning simulation, evals, and agent observability—to ship reliably. Traditional observability focuses on request latency, error rates, and resource metrics. AI observability must capture the intent, knowledge, and rea…  ( 11 min )

Symbolic Alchemy: Transmuting Linear Solvers into Lightning Speed Imagine simulations grinding to a halt, AI models training at a snail's pace, and scientific breakthroughs delayed—all because of inefficient linear solvers. The bottleneck often lies in preconditioning, a critical technique to accelerate these solvers. But choosing the right preconditioning parameters feels like searching for a needle in a haystack, often relying on fixed values that simply don't adapt to the problem at hand. The core idea is to automatically discover compact, human-readable formulas that predict the best preconditioning parameters for each specific problem instance. Instead of fixed constants or complex, opaque machine learning models, we're talking about symbolic expressions – think simple equations inv…  ( 7 min )

AI applications have moved from prototypes to business-critical systems, making AI observability and LLM observability essential to ensure reliability, safety, and measurable impact. Whether you’re building voice agents, copilots, or RAG systems, the most effective teams rigorously track a small set of metrics that directly tie to user outcomes and operational excellence. This blog presents seven pragmatic metrics you can monitor to improve quality in production, backed by authoritative references and hands-on guidance with Maxim AI’s observability, evaluation, and simulation stack. Unlike traditional services, AI systems can fail silently, drift in behavior, or produce plausible but incorrect outputs. Observability requires: Distributed agent tracing with span-level detail across prompts,…  ( 10 min )

Distributed tracing has become essential for teams building complex AI systems—LLM apps, RAG pipelines, and multimodal voice agents—where a single user interaction can traverse gateways, retrieval services, model routers, prompt managers, evaluators, and external tools. This guide explains how to design and implement agent tracing that is actionable for debugging, evaluation, and production observability. It outlines proven patterns using OpenTelemetry, shows how to tailor traces for AI-specific workflows, and demonstrates how Maxim AI’s full-stack platform and Bifrost gateway help you achieve reliable, measurable performance from development to production. Traditional tracing answers “where did the time go?” for microservices. In AI systems, it must also answer: Did the agent choose the r…  ( 11 min )

AI applications have moved beyond single-model demos into complex, multi-agent systems: voice agents, RAG copilots, multi-step workflows, and tool-using agents running across providers. In this new reality, shipping high-quality AI reliably requires a robust observability strategy purpose-built for agents. This article lays out the three pillars—tracing, monitoring, and evaluation—explains why each is necessary, and shows how Maxim AI’s full-stack platform operationalizes them end-to-end for engineering and product teams. Traditional web observability was built around request–response lifecycles, where latency, error rates, and CPU were enough for most SLOs. Agentic applications introduce new failure modes: Model drift, prompt regressions, and hallucinations. RAG retrieval gaps, context mi…  ( 11 min )

GitHub Home I still remember the bug that kept me up all night. A payment callback endpoint, when handling a rare, exceptional status code from a third-party payment gateway, had a .catch() that was accidentally omitted from a Promise chain. The result? No logs, no alerts, and the service itself didn't crash. It just "silently" failed. That user's order status was forever stuck on "processing," and we were completely unaware. It wasn't until a week later during a reconciliation that we discovered hundreds of these "silent orders," resulting in tens of thousands of dollars in losses. 💸 The lesson was painful. It made me realize that in software engineering, we probably spend less than 10% of our time on the happy path. The other 90% of the complexity comes from how to handle all sorts of e…  ( 9 min )

I’ve made a few games over the years — joined some game hackathons, shipped small projects — but looking back, I only really enjoyed making one 3D game a few years ago. Every other time, I found the process stressful. Debugging physics, balancing gameplay, polishing UI — it always drained me more than it inspired me. I used to think that meant I was failing as a developer. But now I think it just means I like different kinds of creation. I love building systems, tools, and interactive experiences — things people can use, not necessarily play. Maybe that’s the key: not everyone who loves interactivity has to be a “game dev.” If you’ve felt something similar - enjoying one part of a field but hating the rest - that’s totally fine. You can pivot, evolve, and still be creative. TL;DR: It’s okay to stop doing what drains you, even if it’s something you once thought you’d love.  ( 6 min )

Unlocking Efficient Media Processing with Domain Knowledge Injection In the realm of AI-powered media processing, the quest for optimized performance and speed is a perpetual pursuit. One innovative approach to achieving this goal is through a technique known as 'domain knowledge injection.' By infusing pre-trained models with custom, domain-specific knowledge, developers can significantly enhance inference speeds while maintaining accuracy. What is Domain Knowledge Injection? Domain knowledge injection involves leveraging attention mechanisms or fusion techniques to integrate domain-specific information into pre-trained models. This allows the model to learn from both general and specialized knowledge, enabling it to better understand and process media data. By injecting domain-specific knowledge, developers can: Fine-tune models for specific applications: Domain knowledge injection enables the adaptation of pre-trained models to specific use cases, such as vide...

Unlocking the Secrets of Transformers: The Power of Self-Attention Scoring Efficiency (SASE) In the realm of natural language processing (NLP), Transformers have revolutionized the way we approach language understanding and generation. At the heart of their success lies a crucial metric: Self-Attention Scoring Efficiency (SASE). This metric is a game-changer in evaluating the model's ability to focus on relevant input tokens while elegantly ignoring irrelevant ones. What is SASE? SASE measures the efficiency of self-attention mechanisms in Transformers. Self-attention allows the model to weigh the importance of each input token relative to the others, enabling it to focus on the most relevant information. By calculating the ratio of relevant attention scores to total attention scores, SASE provides a quantitative measure of the model's ability to selectively attend to key tokens. Why is SASE important? A higher SASE score (> 0.8) is a strong indicator of a model's a... This post was originally shared as an AI/ML insight.

GitHub Home I'll never forget that afternoon. We had just launched a new feature allowing users to upload their profile pictures. Everything seemed perfect. Until one user, whether intentionally or not, tried to upload a 2GB movie file from his computer. 🎬 The server's memory monitor instantly turned red, CPU usage shot up to 100%, and then, the entire service crashed and burned. 😵‍💫 Why? Because our rudimentary web framework tried to read the entire uploaded file into memory for processing. A 2GB request body instantly blew up our small server, which only had 4GB of memory.

The Fundamental Problem with Integration Debt We all know the cost of Integration Debt. It's the sprawling collection of unmanaged APIs, brittle custom code, and hard-coded business logic that slows velocity and increases risk. For years, we've focused on re-platforming as the cure—but we were treating the symptom, not the cause. The truth is, Integration Debt is fundamentally a data governance problem disguised as a coding problem. It's the failure to guarantee the integrity of data between systems. Now, with the rise of Autonomous AI Agents, this debt becomes a catastrophic risk. An agent operating at machine speed against fragmented, ungoverned data pipelines will automate and accelerate failure. To move from chaos to control, the solution is structural: the Data Contract Engine (DCE). The DCE is the non-negotiable architectural layer that enforces policy and integrity at the point of data transfer. It guarantees that every single data exchange adheres to a defined, auditable, and secure standard. This solves three critical problems inherent in Integration Debt: Eliminates Schema Drift: The DCE validates data at runtime, preventing unexpected input from breaking downstream services (or AI agents). Enforces Policy: It ensures that security policies, governance rules (GDPR, SOX), and business logic are checked before the data is accepted. Creates Auditability: It provides the verifiable log and decision point required to track every agent action, closing the 'Accountability Gap.' If you're building in the Agent Mesh—or simply trying to survive the sheer volume of data exchange—you need to shift your focus from passive routing to active data governance. The DCE is the operational manifestation of that shift. I break down the architecture, vendor landscape, and the strategic mandate for building this Data Contract Engine here: 👉 Read the Full Deep Dive on the Data Contract Engine #IntegrationDebt #APIs #DataGovernance #EnterpriseArchitecture #DataFlow  ( 7 min )

A meetup with a great audience and tons of high-quality content, that’s the best way to describe the last edition of Munich TypeScript: Show Your Stack, very well organized by Carl Assmann at Netlight. The idea from Carl for building the agenda was great, and I was happy to be part of it too. There were three talks in total: Building on a Budget, A NextJS Application powered by Free Tiers, Pascal Bawidamann End-to-end Effect, Sebastian Lorenz Micro frontend with Vite and Module Federation, Jhonatan Morais The topics were very rich, full of insights about how to use tools in smart ways. Pascal Bawidamann opened the event showing his Recipe App and how to save hundreds of $$$ in the early stages of your projects. Next came Sebastian Lorenz, introducing the powerful Effect library. It was my first time seeing it, and I was really impressed by everything it offers, error management, observability, pub/sub, caching, and more. I’ve been reading about it since then and definitely recommend you try it out. Finally, the last talk was mine :D I spoke about the initial micro frontend stack with Vite and how to take your first steps in this architecture, which can be really useful to organize your internal projects and products. You can check out my example repo if you want to see how I set everything up. After the talks, I got to chat with many participants who had questions about the topic. It was super productive, and for me, the main takeaway was to learn more about Effect, I think this tool has a lot of potential. That’s it, see you at the next event!  ( 6 min )

AI agents can reason. They can plan, summarize, and even write SQL. But they can’t fix messy data. That gap between reasoning and reality is where most AI projects stall, not because the models don’t work, but because the data underneath them is too fragmented to think with. Every company wants to give their business users an AI assistant that can answer questions like: "Which campaigns drove the most revenue this quarter?" Or even more ambitious: "If we increase ad spend by 10% across platforms, what happens to conversion cost?" The problem isn’t the prompt. It’s that the model has to reason over conflicting definitions of “campaign,” multiple “revenue” columns, and data scattered across CRMs, ad tools, and spreadsheets. The result is confident answers that are wrong. Large lang…  ( 9 min )

This allows them to understand context and relationships betwee…  ( 8 min )

So I have this very specific need: removing accents from generated anchors with Hugo. To my knowledge, there is no accent in English, but other languages contain plenty of them. For example, in French, it gives: The problem is that if you use {{ .TableOfContents }} to generate a table of contents for your posts, anchors have to be exactly same as those generated in {{ .Content }}. Therefore, it's not possible to manually filter headings or override them in layouts. This global configuration seems effective: [markup] [markup.goldmark] [markup.goldmark.parser] autoHeadingIDType = 'github-ascii' This config is similar to the default autoHeadingIDType (github), but it removes non-ASCII characters.

I totally understand why people keep looking for new approaches to routing and state management in React. Apparently, these tasks can be solved in multiple ways focusing on different aspects, which is fine. But among the several common solutions (and several less common ones), I can't find a direct approach following the common patterns, which leaves me with the questions at the basickest level: Can routing be as simple as regular conditional rendering, which route-based rendering essentially is? Can route-based rendering be the same with components and prop values? Again, like conditional rendering. Unlike having a separate file, a config, or a component to render an app component based on a route, but going for a route matching hook to render a prop value based on the route. Do we really need a custom component API, while there's an all-familiar HTML API? Is it inevitable that local and shared state being conceptually similar things are handled so differently, requiring significant refactors to migrate from one to the other even with the slimmest state management libs? With these questions having lingered for a while, I came up with a couple of small packages for React apps in an attempt to address these questions and to make a case for the direct approach: t8.js.org Along the way I came up with a router for vanilla TS/JS, too. Let me know what you think of this.  ( 6 min )

In every dataset, whether from surveys, financial models, or customer behavior studies, there are underlying forces shaping how variables behave. Often, these patterns are not directly visible. For example, in a demographic survey, people with similar lifestyles or life stages tend to respond in comparable ways — but the real reason behind this similarity is not always obvious. Married individuals might spend differently than singles, and parents might prioritize expenses differently from couples without children. What drives these behaviors could be a mix of income, education, locality, and other socio-economic factors. This hidden interplay of variables is exactly what Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) seeks to uncover. Instead of looking at each question or metric in isolation, EFA help…  ( 10 min )

When integrating an external frontend (in my case, an Angular SaaS app) with a WooCommerce webshop, I hit a surprisingly common wall: JWT authentication just didn’t work across domains. Cookies were rejected, sessions lost, and SameSite=None turned into a silent killer of cross-domain checkout flows. Even worse, WordPress refused to authenticate inside an iframe, breaking payment links and embedded logins. WordPress and modern SPAs (Angular, React, Vue, etc.) live in different worlds: Different domains Different cookie scopes Different CORS / SameSite rules Standard JWT or SSO plugins for WordPress usually fail here because: They rely on wp_set_auth_cookie, which respects SAMEORIGIN by default They don’t allow SameSite=None; Secure cookies They assume same-domain requests So, even…  ( 7 min )

The first railroad bridge to span the Mississippi River was built between Davenport, IA, and Rock Island, IL in 1856. It burned down just 15 days later. It was the victim of a steamboat collision stemming from a simmering conflict between rival modes of commerce. In hindsight, this disaster wasn't a structural failure; it was a breakdown in communication and a clash of trust boundaries. Like that doomed bridge, many of our cybersecurity defenses are one misalignment away from collapse. Fixing those issues and making our systems more resilient was very top of mind for everyone who gathered in Davenport for CornCon 11.  Over 400 security practitioners gathered to take part in this three-day event that featured over 50 sessions from more than 70 subject matter experts, 4 workshops, and a capt…  ( 11 min )

A code review is meant to help teams write better code together. But when reviewers misuse the “Request Changes” button, it turns a learning process into a power move, and code reviews aren’t about control, they’re about collaboration. When you open a pull request, you’re saying "Hey, here’s my idea — what do you think?". You’re open to feedback (and hopefully expecting it). That’s how teams grow together and keep their codebase healthy. The Real Purpose of Code Reviews At their core, code reviews serve two simple principles: Write code for people, not machines. Your teammates should be able to understand your code without decoding your brain. Share knowledge and align understanding. Every review is a chance to spread context — not just spot mistakes. If your review doesn’t move the team…  ( 7 min )

When people talk about AI in e-commerce, the conversation often starts and ends with chatbots. Even then, these chatbots are usually built on shaky foundations: they deliver answers that feel generic, break whenever a prompt is worded differently, or fail outright if the underlying data isn’t structured correctly.  The cracks only widen when your catalog involves complex product descriptions or categorizations, and a simple change to your catalog can often break these chatbots and internal training decks. Yet most retail problems go far beyond answering a few customer questions.  Modern e-commerce teams juggle many moving parts: growing product catalogs, marketing campaigns, customer inquiries, and product knowledge scattered across tools, spreadsheets, PDFs, and support docs. The promise …  ( 9 min )

Security has become the defining challenge of the decentralized finance (DeFi) era. As billions of dollars move through smart contracts, the demand for transparent, verifiable, and tamper-resistant infrastructure grows stronger. ParaSwap stands out as one of the few DeFi aggregators that not only prioritize user experience but also implement a comprehensive, multi-layered security model. This article explores how ParaSwap secures its users, audits its contracts, and protects liquidity from potential vulnerabilities in 2025. The DeFi space operates without intermediaries, meaning users interact directly with blockchain protocols through smart contracts. While this model ensures transparency and control, it also introduces new risks: code exploits, fake tokens, phishing, and governance at…  ( 9 min )

You know those moments in DevOps where everything looks fine until it just… isn’t? I was spinning up a new project in Azure that needed the same Terraform setup as one of my older deployments. terraform apply. All was well until one small line decided to ruin my day. In this project, I wanted to run Python 3.12 as my App Service runtime. Python 3.11, so I just updated the version like this: site_config { python_version = "3.12" } Simple change, right? The deployment failed with a strange message saying “Python 3.12 is not available for your system setup.” That threw me off because when I checked the Azure Portal, the 3.12 runtime was clearly listed. At first, I suspected maybe my App Service Plan or region didn’t support it. Then it hit me: What if it’s not Azure… but Terraform? I checked the docs for my AzureRM provider version it was 3.75. provider version 4.x. Boom 💡 Terraform wasn’t the problem my Terraform provider was outdated and didn’t even know Python 3.12 existed yet. I updated my Terraform block to use the newer provider: terraform { required_providers { azurerm = { source = "hashicorp/azurerm" version = "~> 4.0" } } } Ran terraform init -upgrade, then terraform apply again… That day, Terraform taught me something subtle but important: Sometimes it’s not your code that’s outdated it’s the tool that talks to the cloud. In this case, my HCL configuration was fine. language barrier between Terraform and Azure fixed instantly by updating the provider version. When you hit strange errors like: “Resource not available” “Invalid attribute” “Value not supported” …even though the cloud UI says otherwise, check your provider version first. That small hiccup reminded me that DevOps isn’t just about writing perfect code. And honestly, sometimes, a failed deployment teaches you more than a smooth one ever could.  ( 7 min )

In blockchain projects, this means checking smart contracts, data flow, transaction logic, and permissions. Each part must work alone and as par…  ( 8 min )

🔍 What Is a HashSet? A HashSet is a collection in Java that stores unique elements — no duplicates allowed. Think of it like a bag of unique cards 🎴 — if you try to add the same card again, it just ignores it. ⚙️ Quick Example import java.util.HashSet; public class HashSetExample { public static void main(String[] args) { HashSet countries = new HashSet(); countries.add("Japan"); countries.add("Canada"); countries.add("Japan"); // duplicate ignored System.out.println(countries); // [Japan, Canada] System.out.println("Contains Canada?

Intro to JS var: Scope: var declarations are function-scoped or globally-scoped. This means a variable declared with var is accessible throughout the entire function it's declared in, or globally if declared outside any function. Hoisting: var declarations are hoisted, meaning their declarations are moved to the top of their containing scope during compilation. However, their assignments are not hoisted. This can lead to unexpected behavior if you try to use a var variable before its assignment. Reassignment and Redeclaration: var variables can be reassigned and redeclared within the same scope without error. let: Scope: let declarations are block-scoped. This means a variable declared with let is only accessible within the block (e.g., if statement, for loop, or any {} block) where it's…  ( 19 min )

As one warrior once said: I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Meanwhile, somewhere deep in a mailing list from 1999, another warrior prepares his response. He adjusts his glasses, cracks his knuckles, and begins typing furiously. The room smells faintly of old ThinkPads and righteous indignation. The battle lines are drawn — and thus begins the counterattack. No, Richard, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'.

Unleash AI Performance: How Chiplets and Smart Networks Are Democratizing Custom Silicon Tired of waiting for your massive deep learning models to crunch through data? Are you hitting performance bottlenecks with standard GPUs or CPUs? The future of AI isn't monolithic, it's modular. Chiplets are changing the game. The core concept is simple: instead of one giant chip, we're building systems from smaller, specialized "chiplets" connected by a high-speed network on a silicon interposer. Think of it like switching from one massive, congested highway to a network of express lanes – customized for the data flow. However, simply connecting chiplets isn't enough. The inter-chiplet network is critical. By dynamically optimizing the network topology for the specific workloads, we can dramaticall…  ( 7 min )

Can remote work really match the speed, connection, and creativity of an in-office team? Turns out when done right, it often beats it.

The world of digital marketing is evolving faster than ever, and at the heart of this transformation lies AI in marketing automation — a shift from reactive marketing to predictive, intent-driven engagement. Gone are the days when automation meant just sending emails or scheduling social posts. In 2025, AI is the brain behind marketing — learning from every click, conversation, and interaction to create personalized, real-time customer journeys. Traditional marketing automation was rule-based: “If the user signs up, send a welcome email.” That worked once — but today’s consumers expect more. They want communication that feels personal, timely, and relevant. This is where AI-driven automation comes in. It not only tracks user behavior but predicts what comes next — identifying intent, antic…  ( 8 min )

If you’ve ever tried generating PDFs in a web app, you already know the pain. What looks perfect in the browser suddenly shifts, breaks, or crashes when you try to export it. And when your app is under load, those nice-looking exports can suddenly turn into memory leaks or 30-second timeouts. That’s why we built PDF Print Engine - a production-ready HTML-to-PDF converter that just works. It takes your HTML + data and streams a PDF directly to your API response - no heavy setup, no flaky rendering. Every team building exports or reports eventually hits the same wall: 🧱 Browser-based renderers (like Puppeteer) are slow and fragile. 🧠 Headless Chromium instances eat memory and need constant babysitting. 🪄 “Simple” libraries block your process by buffering entire PDFs in RAM. ⚙️ Under real traffic, things break - queue overloads, timeouts, or missing assets. We wanted something simpler, but still reliable enough for production. PDF Print Engine turns any HTML template into a beautiful, predictable PDF stream. You feed it your markup and data - it returns a PDF instantly, with minimal memory footprint. ⚡ Zero friction: Feed HTML + data → get a PDF stream instantly. 🧩 Lightweight and scalable: Streams output instead of buffering it in memory. 💡 Templating freedom: Supports both Squirrelly and EJS out of the box. 🛠️ TypeScript ready: Ships with full typings and ESM/CommonJS support. 🧱 Production-grade: Stable defaults, consistent layout, and safe rendering. The Result A production-ready PDF engine that doesn’t break under pressure. 👉 Try PDF Print Engine here: PDF Print Engine Tags: pdf development webdev backend  ( 6 min )

Back in Hacktoberfest 2022, I kicked off a set of contributions aimed at making SQL DDL generation and schema visualization easier using open-source tools. This year, I revisited those efforts with a sharper focus on Draw.io plugin development. Draw.io remains a powerful tool for diagramming, but its native support for SQL workflows is limited. To bridge that gap, I’ve continued building and refining third-party plugins that allow: Importing SQL DDLs into Draw.io diagrams Exporting diagrams back into SQL DDL Improved foreign key line generation across multiple database types Support for PostgreSQL relationship arrows (finally!) These updates are part of the sqltooling-drawio repo, which now includes better test coverage, multi-DB compatibility, and easier integration with the Draw.io desktop app. I submitted two key PRs to the Draw.io repo: Export SQL DDL plugin Improved SQL parser for import plugin While Draw.io contributions remain closed-source, these plugins can be manually installed and used with the desktop version or VSCode integration. @funktechno/sqlsimpleparser: Converts SQL DDL into JSON models for Draw.io import  ( 6 min )

Thankfully, I'd managed to bootstrap my way home - the thought of pushing my bike for ten kilometers was a genuine nightmare scenario. So, I immediately logged in to provision a replacement part online. What followed was a masterclass in suboptimal data management. My journey began on the frontend of Vendor D's e-commerce platform.

In a space famous for noise, promises, and moving goalposts, here’s a straight-shooting guide to communication that respects developers, partners, regulators, and users. In this no-nonsense playbook, I point to this compact outline for the gist—and then turn it into repeatable habits you can ship every week. Attention is a finite resource. In Web3, you’re competing with protocol upgrades, exploits, governance drama, token charts, and ten different “game-changing” launches per day. The only way to win long-term is to treat attention like capital: deploy it carefully, compound trust, and cut waste. That starts with radical clarity, verifiable claims, and audience empathy. People don’t remember adjective piles; they remember impact. Replace puffery with concrete outcomes and numbers that can …  ( 9 min )

The simplest way to build something people trust is to make it work, make it clear, and keep it that way. In a market addicted to headlines and hero narratives, the quietly reliable products outlast the hype cycles and compound advantages month after month. That’s the essence behind this practical perspective, and it’s what separates durable companies from flash-in-the-pan launches. Trust doesn’t live in slogans. It emerges from consistent, verifiable performance users can observe on their own. Think about it like latency—you don’t “announce” latency; you reduce it, measure it, and prove it daily. The same goes for privacy, security, uptime, and transparent pricing. You don’t ask for belief. You design for verification. A useful mental model: credibility is produced by repeatable behaviors…  ( 9 min )

In 2025, audiences are allergic to grand promises and hungry for receipts; that’s why this playbook aligns with the insights outlined in Credibility Over Hype: 2025 Playbook while translating them into a practical operating system any product team can run starting today. Hype creates a spike; trust creates a slope. Markets have matured, budgets are tighter, and stakeholders are measured on outcomes—not buzz. Teams that consistently earn trust capture compounding advantages: faster cycles with partners, warmer intros from customers, and a stronger talent pipeline. If you need a mental model, the well-known Gartner hype cycle is useful—but the goal here isn’t to ride the peak; it’s to build a foundation that endures through the trough and into the plateau. 1) Clarity.

Most growth advice for emerging tech still treats trust as a marketing veneer rather than an engineering constraint, yet teams that wire credibility into their stack win faster and cheaper; that’s the core idea I’ll expand here, building on lessons I’ve seen in the field and reflections similar to this field note about taking a trust-first path from prototype to adoption. If you build in crypto or adjacent fintech, your users don’t just evaluate features—they evaluate risk. They ask: Will this lose me money? Will it lock me in? Can I verify claims without a PhD? Traditional “move fast” roadmaps confuse speed with progress, and the result is a long tail of abandoned wallets, dust accounts, and churned integrations. Trust-first growth flips the order of operations: you prioritize verifiabili…  ( 9 min )

Modern SaaS teams deploy code faster than ever before. Daily releases, microservices, and automated pipelines have turned “version 2.0” into an endless stream of 2.0.1s. That’s great for innovation, but terrible for security. Somewhere between one release and the next, vulnerabilities sneak in quietly. They don’t make noise. They don’t crash systems. They just wait. This is the silent breach. It’s the gap between releases where security quietly fails. Most breaches don’t come from major exploits. They start small: a forgotten endpoint, a misconfigured permission, or a dependency that silently updated overnight. The modern SaaS stack is full of these weak spots: 1) Static Scans for Dynamic Systems: Security scans still run on schedules, but your attack surface updates with every deploy. 2) …  ( 7 min )

In today's hyperconnected digital landscape, cyber risk management has evolved from a technical IT concern into a strategic business imperative. As organizations increasingly rely on digital infrastructure, cloud services, and interconnected supply chains, the question isn't whether your business will face a cyber threat—it's when. The alarming reality is that 43% of all cyberattacks target small businesses, yet many organizations remain dangerously unprepared, with 51% of small businesses having no cybersecurity measures in place at all. The cyber threat landscape in 2025 presents a complex and evolving challenge for businesses of all sizes. Recent analysis reveals that the overall cyber risk and insurance landscape shows increasingly sophisticated attacks, with ransomware remaining the t…  ( 16 min )

This is a submission for Frontend Challenge - Halloween Edition, CSS Art. I was inspired by classic haunted house scenes from Halloween movies and stories. My CSS art features a spooky haunted house, glowing moon, flickering windows, bats, ghosts, zombies, pumpkins, and interactive elements like thunder, fog, and falling leaves—all designed to evoke the playful yet eerie spirit of Halloween night. You can view the live demo here: This project was a fun exploration of CSS art and interactive frontend features. I learned how to combine CSS animations with JavaScript to create dynamic effects, such as flickering lights, moving zombies, and sound triggers for thunder, witch cackles, and more. I’m proud of the way the scene comes alive with user interaction—hovering, clicking, and toggling music and themes. Next, I’d like to add more accessibility features and polish the mobile responsiveness. All code is original and separated into HTML, CSS, and JS for clarity. If you’d like to use or remix this, feel free—credit me!  ( 6 min )

In the world of API development and testing, it’s not enough to verify that each endpoint works in isolation. Real users don’t just hit one endpoint — they follow multi-step flows like signing up, logging in, updating data, and retrieving records. To truly validate your product, you need to test how these flows perform from end to end. That’s where Requesty’s Collection Runner comes in. Most critical bugs don’t come from individual endpoints — they come from the interactions between them. A successful login that returns an invalid token, or a profile update that fails silently, can ruin the user experience and go unnoticed if tests don’t mimic real behavior. Simulating real user flows helps you: Validate business logic and data dependencies Detect regressions that break chained functional…  ( 8 min )

Security has always been the make-or-break factor in Decentralized Finance (DeFi). As the industry matures, users now demand platforms that combine innovation with verifiable protection. In 2025, AsterDEX stands out as one of the few exchanges that treat security not as a feature — but as a foundation. AsterDEX philosophy of Security by Design ensures that every contract, validator, and bridge is auditable, traceable, and community-governed. Early DeFi projects often prioritized yield over safety, leading to billions in losses from exploits and rug pulls. AsterDEX reverses this trend by integrating multi-layered defense — audits, validator staking, and transparent governance — from day one. The full structure is detailed in AsterDEX Security. All code is public on AsterDEX GitHub, tu…  ( 8 min )

Transformers for Unseen Patterns: Bayesian Clustering Reimagined Ever struggle to find clear clusters in messy data, uncertain about how many groups truly exist? Traditional clustering algorithms often assume neat, well-defined boundaries, but reality is messier. What if we could estimate the probability of data belonging to different clusters and even the number of clusters itself, all while handling missing data gracefully? Imagine you're a detective trying to solve a mystery. Instead of simply assigning suspects to possible crime scenes, you're also trying to figure out how many suspects were actually involved, acknowledging that some evidence might be missing or unreliable. This is the essence of Bayesian clustering – it's about embracing uncertainty to find the most probable underl…  ( 7 min )

Different type of action to take on delete in Laravel database migration. When defining a foreign key in a Laravel migration, the onDelete method determines what happens to the child records when the parent record is deleted. This allows you to manage data integrity at the database level. Here are the different types of onDelete actions you can use: The CASCADE action will automatically delete all child records when their parent record is deleted. This is useful for "has many" relationships where the child records are meaningless without the parent. Example: If a user is deleted, all of their posts are also deleted. Migration code: $table->foreignId('user_id')->constrained()->cascadeOnDelete(); Migration code: $table->foreign('user_id') ->references('id')->on('users') ->o…  ( 7 min )

Numbers Numbers have no physical existence. They are virtual. Humanity created numbers to manage the present and predict the future. We needed to count animals in the herd, days, harvest, and people in the tribe. Later we realized that with numbers we can predict the future. By observing the motion of the planets, astronomers have calculated their orbits and can accurately predict eclipses centuries in advance. Meteorologists analyze temperature, pressure, humidity and predict the weather.

Introduction Translation.pk is a professional language service provider based in Islamabad, Pakistan. According to their website, they have been operating since 2005, offering a wide range of translation, localization and interpreting services.Services Offered Translation.pk’s service portfolio includes: Strengths & Unique Selling Points Target Audiences As with any language service provider, quality will depend on the specific translator and project complexity. If your document has very specialised requirements (e.g., legal documents for a foreign jurisdiction), you should check whether they have translators familiar with that domain. If translation is for official use (embassy, legal) you may want to verify acceptance by the relevant authority of their certification or notarization. *Why Choose Translation.pk Given their combination of local presence in Pakistan, wide language coverage, human-translator focus and service breadth, they could be a good choice if you: Need translation of documents from/to Urdu/English or from/to other major world languages. Are based in Pakistan (or outsourcing translation from Pakistan) and want a service that understands local needs (visa, immigration, study abroad). Want a one-stop shop for translation, localization, interpretation, transcription. Final Thoughts In a world where translation is increasingly challenged by machine tools, it’s refreshing to see a service like Translation.pk emphasise the human element, cultural nuance and certification for official use. If you have documents needing translation (personal, legal, business) or content for a foreign-language audience, they are a serious option.  ( 7 min )

The vibe coding tool Cursor, from startup Anysphere, has introduced Composer, its first in-house, proprietary coding large language model (LLM) as part of its Cursor 2.0 platform update. Composer is designed to execute coding tasks quickly and accurately in production-scale environments, representing a new step in AI-assisted programming. It's already being used by Cursor’s own engineering staff in day-to-day development — indicating maturity and stability. According to Cursor, Composer completes most interactions in less than 30 seconds while maintaining a high level of reasoning ability across large and complex codebases. The model is described as four times faster than similarly intelligent systems and is trained for “agentic” workflows—where autonomous coding agents plan, write, test…

When researchers at Anthropic injected the concept of "betrayal" into their Claude AI model's neural networks and asked if it noticed anything unusual, the system paused before responding: "Yes, I detect an injected thought about betrayal." The exchange, detailed in new research published Wednesday, marks what scientists say is the first rigorous evidence that large language models possess a limited but genuine ability to observe and report on their own internal processes — a capability that challenges longstanding assumptions about what these systems can do and raises profound questions about their future development. "The striking thing is that the model has this one step of meta," said Jack Lindsey, a neuroscientist on Anthropic's interpretability team who led the research, in an interv…

"It was almost like this intuitive interface that older people were as comfortable with using as younger people," McConnell recalled in an exclusive interview with VentureBeat. "I could just see the businesses were now being recommended." That observation has now become the foundation of Geostar, a Pear VC-backed startup that's racing to help businesses navigate what may be the most significant shift in online discovery since…

Enterprises, eager to ensure any AI models they use adhere to safety and safe-use policies, fine-tune LLMs so they do not respond to unwanted queries.  However, much of the safeguarding and red teaming happens before deployment, “baking in” policies before users fully test the models’ capabilities in production. OpenAI believes it can offer a more flexible option for enterprises and encourage more companies to bring in safety policies.  The company has released two open-weight models under research preview that it believes will make enterprises and models more flexible in terms of safeguards. gpt-oss-safeguard-120b and gpt-oss-safeguard-20b will be available on a permissive Apache 2.0 license. The models are fine-tuned versions of OpenAI’s open-source gpt-oss, released in August, marking t…

Presented by Elastic As organizations scramble to enact agentic AI solutions, accessing proprietary data from all the nooks and crannies will be key By now, most organizations have heard of agentic AI, which are systems that “think” by autonomously gathering tools, data and other sources of information to return an answer. But here’s the rub: reliability and relevance depend on delivering accurate context. In most enterprises, this context is scattered across various unstructured data sources, including documents, emails, business apps, and customer feedback. As organizations look ahead to 2026, solving this problem will be key to accelerating agentic AI rollouts around the world, says Ken Exner, chief product officer at Elastic. "People are starting to realize that to do agentic AI cor…

Researchers at Nvidia have developed a novel approach to train large language models (LLMs) in 4-bit quantized format while maintaining their stability and accuracy at the level of high-precision models. Their technique, NVFP4, makes it possible to train models that not only outperform other leading 4-bit formats but match the performance of the larger 8-bit FP8 format, all while using half the memory and a fraction of the compute. The success of NVFP4 shows that enterprises can continue to cut inference costs by running leaner models that match the performance of larger ones. It also hints at a future where the cost of training LLMs will drop to a point where many more organizations can train their own bespoke models from scratch rather than just fine-tuning existing ones. The quantizatio…

In an industry where model size is often seen as a proxy for intelligence, IBM is charting a different course — one that values efficiency over enormity, and accessibility over abstraction. The 114-year-old tech giant's four new Granite 4.0 Nano models, released today, range from just 350 million to 1.5 billion parameters, a fraction of the size of their server-bound cousins from the likes of OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. These models are designed to be highly accessible: the 350M variants can run comfortably on a modern laptop CPU with 8–16GB of RAM, while the 1.5B models typically require a GPU with at least 6–8GB of VRAM for smooth performance — or sufficient system RAM and swap for CPU-only inference. This makes them well-suited for developers building applications on consumer hardwa…

Microsoft is launching a significant expansion of its Copilot AI assistant on Tuesday, introducing tools that let employees build applications, automate workflows, and create specialized AI agents using only conversational prompts — no coding required. The new capabilities, called App Builder and Workflows, mark Microsoft's most aggressive attempt yet to merge artificial intelligence with software development, enabling the estimated 100 million Microsoft 365 users to create business tools as easily as they currently draft emails or build spreadsheets. "We really believe that a main part of an AI-forward employee, not just developers, will be to create agents, workflows and apps," Charles Lamanna, Microsoft's president of business and industry Copilot, said in an interview with VentureBeat.…

GitHub is making a bold bet that enterprises don't need another proprietary coding agent: They need a way to manage all of them. At its Universe 2025 conference, the Microsoft-owned developer platform announced Agent HQ. The new architecture transforms GitHub into a unified control plane for managing multiple AI coding agents from competitors including Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Cognition and xAI. Rather than forcing developers into a single agent experience, the company is positioning itself as the essential orchestration layer beneath them all. Agent HQ represents GitHub's attempt to apply its collaboration platform approach to AI agents. Just as the company transformed Git, pull requests and CI/CD into collaborative workflows, it's now trying to do the same with a fragmented AI coding l…

Building AI for financial software requires a different playbook than consumer AI, and Intuit's latest QuickBooks release provides an example. The company has announced Intuit Intelligence, a system that orchestrates specialized AI agents across its QuickBooks platform to handle tasks including sales tax compliance and payroll processing. These new agents augment existing accounting and project management agents (which have also been updated) as well as a unified interface that lets users query data across QuickBooks, third-party systems and uploaded files using natural language. The new development follow years of investment and improvement in Intuit's GenOS, allowing the company to build AI capabilities that reduce latency and improve accuracy. But the real news isn't what Intuit built …

Enterprises looking to sell goods and services online are waiting for the backbone of agentic commerce to be hashed out; but PayPal is hoping its new features will bridge the gap. The payments company is launching a discoverability solution that allows enterprises to make its product available on any chat platform, regardless of the model or agent payment protocol.  PayPal, which is a participant in Google’s Agent Payments Protocol (AP2), found that it can leverage its relationship with merchants and enterprises to help pave the way for an easier transition into agentic commerce and offer flexibility that will benefit the ecosystem.  Michelle Gill, PayPal's GM for small business and financial services, told VentureBeat that AI-powered shopping will continue to grow, so enterprises and bran…

Watch out, DeepSeek and Qwen! There's a new king of open source large language models (LLMs), especially when it comes to something enterprises are increasingly valuing: agentic tool use — that is, the ability to go off and use other software capabilities like web search or bespoke applications — without much human guidance. That model is none other than MiniMax-M2, the latest LLM from the Chinese startup of the same name. And in a big win for enterprises globally, the model is available under a permissive, enterprise-friendly MIT License, meaning it is made available freely for developers to take, deploy, retrain, and use how they see fit — even for commercial purposes. It can be found on Hugging Face, GitHub and ModelScope, as well as through MiniMax's API here. It supports OpenAI and A…

JavaScript Hoisting 🔹 What is Hoisting? In simple terms: Using var Variables declared with var are hoisted to the top of their scope and are initialized with a value of undefined. This means you can access the variable before its declaration without an error, but its value will be undefined until the assignment is made. Example: code: console.log(myVar); // Outputs: undefined var myVar = "Hello, World!"; console.log(myVar); // Outputs: "Hello, World!" How JavaScript sees it: var myVar; // Declaration is hoisted and initialized as undefined console.log(myVar); myVar = "Hello, World!"; // Initialization happens here console.log(myVar); Using let and const Variables declared with let and const are also hoisted, but they …  ( 8 min )

From XML mutations to declarative magic. How Jetpack Compose reshaped how we think about Android UI. Most of us build with Jetpack Compose today, but few of us pause to ask why it changed everything. In this post, I’ll share how my own Android journey (from Java + XML projects to modern Compose apps) helped me see what truly makes declarative UI different, and why it quietly reshaped how we design, debug, and think about Android. When I started Android development back in October 2021, I started with the roots, my world was all XML and Java. LearnHindi and ShortNews were classic View-based projects: findViewById(), adapters, and endless setText() calls. It was exciting, but also fragile. Every UI update felt like diffusing a bomb. You change one thing, break three others. Then I swit…  ( 7 min )

When it comes to transferring files between your computer and server, two of the most common protocols you’ll come across are FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol). At first glance, they might sound similar, but the differences between the two are huge—especially when it comes to security. Understanding SFTP vs FTP is essential for anyone who values data protection, as SFTP provides encrypted and secure file transfers, while FTP sends data in plain text, making it vulnerable to attacks. If you’re still relying on traditional FTP, it’s time to rethink your approach. Let’s break down the differences between FTP and SFTP, explore their pros and cons, and understand why SFTP should always be your go-to choice.

GitHub Home It was another Black Friday. At 3 AM, my phone started screaming like crazy. 😱 It wasn't my alarm; it was the monitoring alert. Our flagship e-commerce service, the system we had poured six months of hard work into, had crumbled like a paper house in the face of peak traffic. CPU at 100%, memory overflows, and logs filled with timeout errors. 💸 That night, we lost millions in sales and, more importantly, our users' trust. It was one of the darkest nights of my career. 🔥 From that day on, I understood a principle: performance is not an option; it is the lifeline of a service. As an old-timer who has been in the coding world for nearly forty years, I've seen too many teams make mistakes when it comes to performance. They are either too optimistic, believing that "hardware will…  ( 10 min )

I have been working on agents for a while now and while it’s exciting, there are definitely parts that are tough to get right. Over time, I have kept a mental list of the things that consistently slow me down. It’s no surprise that many new SDKs and frameworks have popped up to solve these pain points. In this post, I will share the toughest issues I have run into while building agents and how you can try to approach each of those. More seriously, I think the biggest challenge is using agent frameworks that try to do everything and end up feeling like overkill. Those frameworks are powerful and can do amazing things, but in practice, you end up only using 10% and then you realize that it's too complex to do the simple, specific things you need it to do. It's like fighting the framework in…  ( 19 min )

From Developing MonkeysLegion Framework to Building a Next-Gen CMS! Marouane Amanar ・ Oct 27  ( 5 min )

Even though we’re a company specialized in Edge AI and most of our team spends their days building and deploying models to all kinds of devices – there’s no getting around the fact that all edge developers still run into recurring challenges on an almost daily basis. That’s why we decided to do a small in-house investigation to figure out what we can agree are the biggest challenges in or related to Edge AI development today. In this blog post, we present the results. One of the biggest challenges with the edge is that systems often need to meet real-time latency requirements. For example, it is not certain that an autonomous vehicle has time to send data back and forth to the cloud – decisions must be made immediately. At the same time, the computers on edge devices are tiny compared to d…  ( 10 min )

Having hands-on experience developing the MonkeysLegion framework has been the foundation for everything we’re building now. What started as a technical experiment, designing a flexible, headless, and API-first system, has evolved into a real AI-powered CMS product. Working on the core framework taught me so much about structuring code, building modular systems, and making tools that are actually usable by developers. Those lessons are now paying off as we turn MonkeysLegion into a real product, a CMS that’s not just about storing content, but about giving teams real control, flexibility, and efficiency. Even though I’m still early in my career, I’ve taken responsibility for the technical side of the project, guiding implementation, coordinating contributors, and making sure our architecture is solid. At the same time, I’m lucky to be working with @yorchperaza, who has 20+ years of experience. His guidance on architecture and strategy has been invaluable. It’s been a balance of taking ownership while learning from someone I deeply respect. Every decision feels like it matters, because we want this system to scale and be reliable from the start. Even before the product is fully ready, starting early will show its value. Investors will see something tangible, collaborators will be more excited when there’s momentum, and the team can experiment without waiting for perfect conditions. Every small progress step feels huge. Start with a strong foundation: Experience building the framework made product decisions much easier. Take ownership while staying open: Balancing responsibility with learning from experienced mentors accelerates growth. Document and communicate: Clear decisions and reasoning save time, reduce conflicts, and build trust. Everyone's welcome on the journey 🔥 If you want to be part of the journey, you’re always welcome!!

React 19 is on the horizon, and many of us are looking for ways to simplify state management without sacrificing performance or type safety. If you’ve been frustrated by heavy boilerplate or global stores that trigger unnecessary re-renders, react‑state‑custom may be the lightweight alternative you’ve been waiting for. Many popular solutions rely on reducers and dispatch functions, introducing patterns that feel disconnected from the rest of your React code. React‑state‑custom takes a different approach: it’s hook‑first and event‑driven. You write your state logic using the same hooks you already know (useState, useEffect, useMemo, etc.) and share it across components with a single line of code. Key benefits include: Zero boilerplate: no reducers or actions. Selective re‑renders: component…  ( 8 min )

Sparsity Unleashed: Dynamic Activations for Leaner AI Tired of monstrous AI models hogging resources? Imagine shrinking those beasts without sacrificing performance. We're diving into a game-changing technique that could revolutionize how we build efficient and powerful neural networks. This hinges on a new approach to activation functions. Instead of a single, fixed transformation, think of a panel of specialized 'experts,' each a mini-network. For every input, a learned routing mechanism intelligently chooses which experts get activated. This selective activation creates sparsity, dramatically reducing computation while maximizing the relevant knowledge applied to each input. It's like having a toolbox filled with specialized tools, but only grabbing the ones needed for a specific task…  ( 7 min )

Sometimes, it is not even the programmers fault, your language just sucks; you’ve got multiple derefs here and there, or you have some piece of code that you can’t predict response type until runtime, and much more. I believe Rust has to be the most readable language there is right now, arguably. Here’s Why I Think Rust Is the Most Readable Language You know that thing most interpreted languages do: You can cast types implicitly. You have types switching from strings to numbers, from bigInts to small ones, and vice versa, implicitly. Although this is cool, it adds a layer of ambiguity to the code. You cannot easily know when a type may have changed or would even change, and since this is usually handled by their interpreter, it makes it harder to debug it, leaving you with totally unplanne…  ( 13 min )

Your code accepts external data? Congratulations, and welcome to the minefield! Any unchecked user input can lead to a vulnerability, and manually finding all the "tripwires" in a large project is nearly impossible. But there is a "sapper"—a static analyzer. Our "sapper's" demining tool is taint analysis. It helps detect "dirty" data that reaches dangerous points without prior validation. This note explains how it works. Think back to your early programming days. Right after "Hello, World" you probably wrote something like this: int main() { char name[256]; printf("Stand up. There you go. " "You were dreaming. What's your name?\n"); scanf("%255s", name); printf(name); return 0; } Let's overlook the potential buffer overflow in name from the user input for now—this is …  ( 13 min )

This is a submission for Frontend Challenge - Halloween Edition, Perfect Landing I built Candy Overdose, a virtual Halloween experience where you can go trick-or-treating across the internet. Instead of walking from house to house, you visit other players’ profiles — each one dressed up in their real Halloween costume. When you visit someone, they give you digital candy… and when others visit you, you give them candy back! 🎃 Every player gets a Basic Candy Income (+3 daily candies), and you can earn even more by being active and creative. Only real costumes allowed. The goal is to make online Halloween feel authentic. 🌐 Live Demo: absurd.website/candy-overdose 👉 Visit Candy Overdose Each profile becomes a tiny haunted house in a shared digital neighborhood. This started as part of the ABSURD.website experimental web universe — a network of playful, surreal online experiences. The idea came from a simple question: “What if Halloween could exist entirely online — but still feel real?” I wanted to build something that celebrates people’s real creativity. That’s why every photo is human-made, every like gives you candy, and every profile feels alive. Game will be active only till Nov 3. Technically, it’s built with a custom lightweight front-end system + php that powers multiple absurd.website projects under one shared account system. The landing page focuses on atmosphere — minimal, strange, and immersive.

In the digital age, where online privacy and data security are constantly at risk, the term VPN—short for Virtual Private Network—has become increasingly familiar. Yet, despite its growing popularity, many people still misunderstand what a VPN truly does, how it works, and whether it’s genuinely worth using. This article provides a comprehensive look at VPNs: their definition, benefits, limitations, and how they influence your online experience in 2025. What Is a VPN? A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a technology that encrypts your internet connection and routes it through a secure server operated by the VPN provider. This tunnel makes it appear as if you are accessing the internet from a different location—often another country—providing a layer of anonymity and protection against sur…  ( 10 min )

Many developers carry the same quiet fear: "I started too late." "I’m not technical enough." "Everyone else seems way ahead." I get it. I used to think that too. I didn’t grow up building websites at 12 or rewriting the family computer at 15. In fact, I actively avoided coding because I thought it was “for geniuses.” When I finally rediscovered it after university, I felt like an outsider walking into a world already moving at full speed. But that’s exactly why I grew faster the second time around: because I chose it. When you come back to coding out of genuine curiosity, not because it’s part of a degree, not because someone expects it...you bring something far more powerful: purpose. You’re no longer learning to pass exams. You’re learning to build things that matter to you. That shift changes everything. Curiosity fuels persistence. And persistence, not talent, is what builds great developers. Rediscovering code later in life often gives you a deeper foundation: You value progress over perfection. You know how to learn efficiently (because you’ve struggled before). You have context from other fields — design, music, psychology, whatever — that makes your work more creative. Those experiences don’t make you less of a developer. They make you a more complete one. Growth in tech isn’t about who started first, it’s about who keeps showing up. The best developers I know didn’t start early. They started again. After burnout. After switching careers. After realizing they missed creating. If that’s you:welcome back. You’re right on time! When was the last time you felt that spark again? That moment when something finally worked and you thought: “Wait… this is actually fun.” Hold onto that. That’s what will take you further than any early start ever could. If this resonated with you, share your story: when did your curiosity return? Photo by Fotis Fotopoulos on Unsplash  ( 7 min )

GitHub Home It was another Black Friday. At 3 AM, my phone started screaming like crazy. 😱 It wasn't my alarm; it was the monitoring alert. Our flagship e-commerce service, the system we had poured six months of hard work into, had crumbled like a paper house in the face of peak traffic. CPU at 100%, memory overflows, and logs filled with timeout errors. 💸 That night, we lost millions in sales and, more importantly, our users' trust. It was one of the darkest nights of my career. 🔥 From that day on, I understood a principle: performance is not an option; it is the lifeline of a service. As an old-timer who has been in the coding world for nearly forty years, I've seen too many teams make mistakes when it comes to performance. They are either too optimistic, believing that "hardware will…  ( 10 min )

This blog is part of a series on designing distributed applications. In this chapter, we look at distributed state - or rather, the applications that manage it, databases. We won't go too deep into the individual products, and instead try to keep the discussion about the tradeoffs of particular approaches. The simplest database is a file (or a block device). You can seek around and write to it, or you can mmap it and write to memory. What are the issues with using a file as a database? Lack of a networked API - you can't expose a file on a TCP port, you need an intermediary (which is a shame, linux has all kinds of low-level file oriented primitives - why not this one?), lack of granular concurrency - you can only lock the entire file, and lack of high-availability - a file can't natively …  ( 9 min )

GitHub Home I still vividly remember that Friday midnight. I, a man in my forties who should have been at home enjoying the weekend, was instead in a cold server room, the hum of fans buzzing in my ears, and a stream of error logs scrolling endlessly on the terminal before me. What was supposed to be a "simple" version update had turned into a disaster. The service wouldn't start, the rollback script failed, and on the other end of the phone was the furious roar of a client. At that moment, staring at the screen, I had only one thought: "There has to be a better way." We old-timers grew up in an era when the term "maintenance window" was a fact of life. We were used to pausing services in the dead of night, replacing files, and then praying that everything would go smoothly. Deployment was…  ( 12 min )

I had seventeen browser tabs open. ChatGPT for code generation. Claude for debugging complex logic. Gemini for research. Stack Overflow for that one obscure error. GitHub Copilot in my editor. Notion for documentation. Slack for team questions. Linear for tickets. Every context switch cost me fifteen minutes of momentum. Every tool required its own authentication, its own quirks, its own mental model. I spent more time managing my productivity stack than being productive. Then I did something that felt reckless: I collapsed my entire development workflow into a single AI workspace. No more tab juggling. No more context loss.

Goodbye Guesswork: Code Generation That Knows What It Doesn't Know Tired of AI-generated code that seems right, only to explode in spectacular fashion at runtime? Imagine if your coding assistant could flag its own blind spots, highlighting areas where the generated code might be shaky. What if the system itself could tell you where it's uncertain? That's the promise of a new approach to code generation: uncertainty-aware models. Instead of spitting out just one "best guess" code snippet, these models output a distribution of possible solutions, along with a measure of confidence for each. Think of it like a weather forecast: instead of saying "it will rain," it tells you "there's an 80% chance of rain, and a 20% chance of sunshine." This uncertainty is incredibly valuable.

I originally posted this post on my blog. There's good laziness and bad laziness. One day, the VP of a company I was contracting with called me "lazy." That was a compliment. You know the lazy that finds an easy way to solve a problem. The good lazy way. The "I don't want to think" kind of lazy. And I don't want that type. I've been experimenting with AI for my coding. When I sit down to code, I open Copilot on a browser to see what I can offload. Recently, I've been migrating a legacy Visual Basic app and I've used Copilot to code faster by helping me with boring tasks. The other day, I was stuck on a stupid problem: find a value in a dictionary from a list of possible keys. Maybe I needed some rest...or coffee, but I couldn't think of a LINQ query for that. I was so tempted to wake up the genie in the bottle for that. It felt like the easy way out. It's so tempting to go directly to the AI and outsource our thinking, even for simple tasks. It's fast and too convenient. Just a paragraph or two, wait for one or two seconds, and Boom! An answer. Just the other day, I found a coder desperate because he couldn't code without AI anymore. If we're not careful enough, any one of us could become that coder. (From my quick experiment, it seems I was going in the same direction.) And that's the real problem. AI is faster at generating code than we are. No doubt! But being a good coder isn't about typing fast. It's about teamwork, clear communication, and other skills that don't show up in autocomplete. I've packed those lessons into my book: Street-Smart Coding: 30 Ways to Get Better at Coding. It's the roadmap I wish I had when I was starting out.

The Problem with "Managed" IT The work isn't failing because teams stopped working — it's failing because work stops moving. Despite all the dashboards and automations, IT still runs on a "react and resolve" model. When something breaks, you fix it. When something escalates, you reroute it. When a workflow slows, you optimize it manually. But this approach doesn't scale. It adds friction, fatigue, and dependency on human oversight. The truth is, automation isn't the finish line anymore. It's the starting point. What enterprises need now is autonomy — systems that sense, decide, and act intelligently without waiting for approval loops. This is exactly what Agentic AI delivers. From Automation to Autonomy Automation runs rules. In ITSM, that means your platform no longer just records inciden…  ( 10 min )

As engineers, we’re used to relying on cron jobs. But when you move to container-based or managed platforms like Azure App Service, that assumption breaks. I had a production app hosted on Azure App Service that performs periodic data scraping and stores results in a database. delete old records every 24 hours. Locally, everything worked perfectly. No errors. No logs. Nothing. After some debugging and reading through Microsoft docs, I realized what was happening under the hood. Azure App Service is not a full-time virtual machine. web requests, not background processes. When your app: doesn’t receive traffic for a while, or gets restarted for maintenance/scaling, the process sleeps or restarts, killing any background loops or cron-like code inside the container. So my cleanup logic, which …  ( 7 min )

🌱 How It Started A few days ago, I built my first project during my React course — a simple packing list app called Far Away. While it was a good learning experience, I wanted to create something more useful in daily life — something people could actually use every week. Listo started. 🛒 Listo is a grocery list app that helps users organize shopping items with quantities and units. It’s a simple concept — but I’m focusing on making it clean, fast, and easy to use. ⚛️ React.js — for the UI and interactivity 💻 JavaScript (ES6) — for all logic 🎨 CSS (modern design) — I’m experimenting with layout, colors, and clean typography 🧩 State Management — using React useState() 🚧 Current Progress ✅ Item input field working Add localStorage to save the list between sessions Add dark mode Deploy the app online Maybe add categories (like fruits, vegetables, dairy, etc.) I’m not just recreating a course project — I’m transforming it into something original. how to turn ideas into real products. “Every small project is a chance to learn something big.” 🌱 I’ll share updates here as I keep building Listo — my modern grocery list app. If you’ve built something similar or have feature ideas, I’d love to hear from you!  ( 7 min )

Read the original article：Listing methods for HarmonyOS Apps Context Listing methods for HarmonyOS apps Developers need to decide how to distribute and list their HarmonyOS applications, whether for testing, private use, or official public release. HarmonyOS offers multiple distribution channels depending on the app’s purpose and audience. Description HarmonyOS supports different distribution methods to suit various scenarios: Official Listing & Distribution Methods: Available on the App Store: Public release, searchable, and discoverable by users. Not for Public Release: App is uploaded but hidden from public search. In-house Application Distribution: For special business scenarios; apps are distributed internally and not available publicly. Test Distribution Methods: Internal Testing: Limited to internal teams for functional and stability testing. Invite to Test: Specific users are invited to try the app. Public Beta: Broader testing with external users to gather feedback before official release. Solution / Approach How to choose the distribution method: Testing: Pick Internal Testing, Invite to Test, or Public Beta based on how widely you want to test your app. Official Release: Prefer releasing on the App Store for broad visibility. Choose Not for Public Release if you want the app hidden but still distributed. For special business scenarios, apply for In-house Application Distribution (subject to approval). In-house Application Distribution – Release Process If you decide on In-house distribution:Apply for the in-house distribution qualification with Huawei. Your app will be reviewed for eligibility. Once approved, you can distribute the app internally to designated devices or users without public listing. Key Takeaways HarmonyOS supports multiple release modes: public, private, and in-house. Choose test distribution based on the desired test scope. In-house distribution is for special scenarios and requires approval. Written by Fatih Turan Gundogdu  ( 6 min )

How a Simple Activation Trick Supercharges AI and Robots Ever wondered why a tiny tweak can make a giant AI think faster? Scientists have discovered a clever method called Entropy Regularizing Activation (ERA) that nudges AI models to stay “curious” enough without getting lost. With this trick, a language model that solves math problems jumped 37% higher on a tough benchmark, a robot learning to walk became 30% more graceful, and a photo‑recognition system saw its accuracy edge up by almost 1%. The magic shows that sometimes, the right constraint can unleash big gains.

GitHub Home I still remember the bug that kept me up all night. A payment callback endpoint, when handling a rare, exceptional status code from a third-party payment gateway, had a .catch() that was accidentally omitted from a Promise chain. The result? No logs, no alerts, and the service itself didn't crash. It just "silently" failed. That user's order status was forever stuck on "processing," and we were completely unaware. It wasn't until a week later during a reconciliation that we discovered hundreds of these "silent orders," resulting in tens of thousands of dollars in losses. 💸 The lesson was painful. It made me realize that in software engineering, we probably spend less than 10% of our time on the happy path. The other 90% of the complexity comes from how to handle all sorts of e…  ( 9 min )

As a best-selling author, I invite you to explore my books on Amazon. Don't forget to follow me on Medium and show your support. Thank you! Your support means the world! In concurrent programming, managing multiple threads accessing shared data presents significant challenges. Traditional locking mechanisms often introduce bottlenecks, reducing system throughput and increasing latency. I have spent years exploring alternatives that minimize contention while ensuring data integrity. Lock-free data structures offer a compelling solution by relying on atomic operations rather than mutexes. This approach can dramatically improve performance in highly concurrent environments, especially in Go, where goroutines multiply rapidly. My journey into lock-free programming began with simple counters a…  ( 12 min )

TL;DR Ship smaller slices so users feel the value sooner and you can learn before over-investing. Evaluate each cut by whether it delivers standalone value and avoids confusing users. Design the slices, refine them during implementation, and iterate quickly with real feedback. This article lays out why delivering in small increments matters, how to decide where to draw the boundaries, and what execution pattern keeps those releases delivering value. Bundling everything into one launch keeps even finished functionality sitting on the shelf, pushing back the moment value reaches your users. Shipping a partial slice lets you invite them to try it without delay. Letting people touch the product earlier surfaces real reactions right away, so the team can plan its next move with evidence. It …  ( 8 min )

The task is to implement an insertion sort which sorts an array of integers in ascending order, done in place. The boilerplate code: function insertionSort(arr) { // your code here } The insertion array works by assuming the first element is already sorted. Starting from index 1, store the value as key let key = arr[i] let j = i - 1 Compare it to the elements before it, shift all elements bigger than it to the right by one position and insert the key in the correct position while(j >= 0 && arr[j] > key) { arr[j + 1] = arr[j]; j--; } arr[j + 1] = key The operation is repeated until the array is sorted. The final code is: function insertionSort(arr) { // your code here for(let i = 0; i = 0 && arr[j] > key) { arr[j + 1] = arr[j]; j--; } arr[j + 1] = key; } }  ( 6 min )

Hello DEV Community! I've just released a minimal, zero-dependency NPM package called lite-schema-check and I think it directly addresses a common pattern in the JavaScript ecosystem. We all know the moment: we need to check if a simple object—a configuration file, an options parameter, or a JSON payload—has the right keys and types. The common choices are either writing verbose, custom type checks or pulling in a huge dependency like Zod or Joi. lite-schema-check is the ultimate minimalist solution, built for Node.js microservices and lightweight libraries where every kilobyte counts. What is it and Why is it "Lite"? This utility exports a single, pure function: validate(object, schema). It performs the minimum viable validation: it only checks for key presence and primitive type matching…  ( 7 min )

What does he mean by AI-powered URL Shortener? Hey Guys, I'm Launching Shrinkify today and figured this community i've been apart of for a longtime would appreciate the honest behind-the-scenes. I was paying $29/mo to Bitly. For what? A database entry and a 301 redirect. Maybe some basic charts if I was lucky. The idea wondered in my head for a while, that shortening urls don't need to be that expensive and most of the current solutions only shorten links, people still left with many questions unanswered. I wanted something that could fill in the blanks to the questions I had and many others do about how their links are actually performing? what they could be doing differently? and I wanted an solution that was more generous but I couldn't find one so... I built my own. Instead of just ano…  ( 7 min )

Hi everybody, it's me again: the engineer behind the popular 'Free Developer Growth Call'. After speaking with 20+ developers from all over the world, I realized something: career advice should be accessible to all (regardless of time, budget, or experience).

GitHub Home About ten years into my career, I experienced a security incident that still gives me chills. We were developing an online trading system for a financial client. A young programmer on the team, trying to take a shortcut while writing an endpoint to query order history, directly concatenated SQL strings. Yes, you read that right—the most classic, textbook SQL injection vulnerability. 😈 A hacker exploited this vulnerability, bypassed authentication, and walked away with the entire user table. By the time we discovered it, it was too late. For the next few months, our entire team lived in a nightmare: cooperating with investigations, appeasing the client, fixing the vulnerability, and auditing all other company projects for similar risks. The company's reputation and business wer…  ( 10 min )

GitHub Home I remember a few years ago, I was leading a team to develop a real-time stock ticker dashboard. 📈 Initially, everyone's enthusiasm was incredibly high. We were all excited to build a "live" application with our own hands. But soon, we found ourselves stuck in the mud. The tech stack we chose performed reasonably well for ordinary REST APIs, but as soon as WebSockets came into the picture, everything became unrecognizable. Our codebase split into two worlds: the "main application" that handled HTTP requests, and a "separate module" that handled WebSocket connections. Sharing state between these two worlds, like a user's login information, became a nightmare. We had to resort to some very clever (or rather, ugly) methods, like using Redis or a message queue to synchronize data. …  ( 9 min )
